Article:
Die Bildphilosophien Ludwig Wittgensteins und Oliver Scholz' im Vergleich

Abstract

Based on the distinction between wide, abstract and narrow, concrete concepts of image and thus of abstract and concrete images, this article presents a comparison of the image philosophies of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Oliver Scholz. According to Wittgenstein's theory, the image is integrated into a complex world ontology and represents a means to an end – it must not necessarily be a sign. In contrast, Scholz's autotelic describes a concrete emblematic artifact. For Wittgenstein, the picture is only an image if it is a matter of fact, while for Scholz, an image may be unrealistic, and be only constituted by its syntactic and semantic properties. Interestingly, both approaches have three major general objectives in common: to examine the relevance of reality and the relationship between image and sign and the most complete examination of the image.
