Starting from an examination of Wittgenstein’s conceptual investigation on emotions, this paper aims to highlight the intertwining between emotions and language: no matter how emotions take form in language and they are super-structured by it, language is not able to reduce emotions within the conceptual space since emotions transcend language influencing and expanding it. The goal becomes to answer questions such as: what can Wittgenstein’s conceptual investigations on emotions show to cognitive studies? Does it include elements that anticipate cognitive studies’ outcomes?

Abstract
Starting from an examination of Wittgenstein’s conceptual investigation on emotions, this paper aims to highlight the intertwining between emotions and language: no matter how emotions take form in language and they are super-structured by it, language is not able to reduce emotions within the conceptual space since emotions transcend language influencing and expanding it. The goal becomes to answer questions such as: what can Wittgenstein’s conceptual investigations on emotions show to cognitive studies? Does it include elements that anticipate cognitive studies’ outcomes?File in questo prodotto:
