Abstract

In the wake of hundredth anniversary of Wittgenstein`s famous literary-philosophical debut, the world once again seems to be deeply occupied with the medical issues of planetary significance: therapeutic role of the Tractatus (also hinted by "New Wittgensteinian" interpretations) was, however, primarily concerned with the purification of human language by means of "ascendence" from logical to mystical view of experience − while it`s function in the latter writings is transfered to more extensive process of "detoxication" of human life itself, precisely from cummulative theoretic "side effects" of occidental "pharmakon" in the form of philosophy. After the exposition of central notions from both early and latter phase of Wittgenstein`s (anti-) philosophy, the focus will be shifted towards a sketch of possible interpretation which could complement the wittgenstanian "pharmacology of detoxication" with more positive vision of theory − which would, contrary to the relience on "self-regulating" power of opaque "forms of life", accentuate "self-transcending" capacity of reflexive language, particularly as an examplary mode of externalization of the dynamics of human life in the full scope of its complexity and creativity.
