Introduction
==    In some periods of the history ofphilosophy there existed a general agreement regarding the nature ofphilosophy. But this didn’t last long. Philosophy received a new turn with theadvent of the twentieth centaury. Wittgenstein being related to the “Vienna circle”. It is themane of a gro0up of philosophers. Who tried to give scientific explanation foreverything? He mainly deals with language games. Wittgenstein’s theory of logical atomism            Here he tells about the theoryof description. This theory explains that certain descriptive phrases orincomplete symbols, for instance, the king of France, have no meaning in isolation.They get meaning only when they are employed in propositions. He tells anythingwhich should have meaning must correspond to same reality in the world. Thusthere is connection between the language and reality in the world. ForWittgenstein there is a world of language exactly resembling the real world. Impossibilityof metaphysics       Wittgenstein considered all propositionsof Metaphysics as nonsensical. For, the proposition, which are used to explainthe metaphysical facts are not factual ones which represents real fact. They donot convey any sense. Another thing is that propositions used in metaphysicsare not verifiable because they are concerned with transcendental facts. Forinstance, “this is a being” can neither be verified through observation northrough experimentation so as to say, whether it is true of false. For him theconcepts like “being”, “ego”, “value”, soul etc used in traditional philosophiesare not true concepts. They are called “pseudo notion” because they are notrepresenting any object. This is clear even in the case of mysticism. Inmysticism everything is being kept unknown and unclear. So according toWittgenstein anything authentically about metaphysical or mystical facts becausethey are transcendental in their very nature. Hence the possible thing one cando is “where of on can not speak there of one must be silent. If we follow thisnorm there would not be any problem. Rejection ofEthical language        Ethical language is not factual type.Propositions used in ethics do not convey any new information. Ethics dealswith transcendental facts which belong to the world of what cannot be said.They are not analyzable. So we can not find the sense of such propositions andfacts. Hence he says that propositions used in ethics have no meaning, they arenonsensical. Ethical value is a key concept in ethics. Wittgenstein rejectsthis concept because there is no value in the world which can be perceived. Itdoes not deny any object, and ‘value in itself is not a real concrete object. Language- game       In language, words and sentences are usedfor doing some linguistic and non-linguistic activities. Such activities are oftwo types. One type of activity is used to narrate a story, to describe the appearanceof an object, reporting an event, to explain a dream etc. second type of activityis used for doing some non-linguistic behavioral act ivies. These linguisticand non linguistic activities form a language game .A language game means a setof linguistic practices and conventions which includes a system of language anda form of human behavior interment into each other. A language game represents the“forms of life”. It shows that language is not merely structure constituted ofpropositions but a form of human actions. Through this language game analysisWittgenstein conveys the idea that language is a system of proposition. Privatelanguage      Private language is a kind of languagewhich depends exclusively on the person who uses it. Wittgenstein explicitlydistinguishes a private language from our ordinary language. Some remarkable featuresof this language are: it is understood only by a person who speaks it.Secondly, the individual words used in this language are known to him alone.Thirdly, all the words in this language have special connotations. Fourthly,other people can never understand this language. Private language and privatesensation are closely related. Private language is the expression of privatesensation.==
