    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Aesthetic value is not reducible to an object's effect on the listener or viewer.

    Wittgenstein's separation of understanding from effect presupposes a mind-world dualism that pragmatist and enactivist frameworks explicitly reject.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Wittgenstein treats understanding as internal mental act separable from external behavioral consequences, a hallmark of dualism.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Pragmatism and enactivism posit understanding as constitutively dependent on embodied action and environmental interaction, not mental states alone.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Wittgenstein's private language argument assumes an inner criterion of correctness independent of public practice, presupposing mind-world separation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Wittgenstein explicitly criticizes the 'inner/outer' picture as philosophical confusion; his later work rejects the dualism being attributed to him.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Understanding-as-use doctrine shows understanding just is the ability to deploy language in practice, not a separate mental state preceding use.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Pragmatists and enactivists themselves must distinguish what understanding involves from mere mechanical behavior, making some separation inescapable.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
