L. WITTGENSTEIN''S LANGUAGE GAMES THEORY AS A SOURSE OF ANALITICAL HISTORICAL EPISTEMOLOGY DOCTRINES
The ordinary language theory offered by L. Wittgenstein became a foundation of the narrative approach to the understanding of the past within the current of analytical philosophy. Declaring the contextual meaning of words and propositions, it opens the horizon of concrete language practices study and reveals the epistemological potential of propositions in their usage within language context. When applied to epistemology of history issues, this kind of approach uncovers the cognitive autonomy of historical narration that does not aim at attaining adequacy to the immediately perceived currently non-existent events of the past. Thus, the study of the past should be understood as a practice of specific interpretations of the past events from the point of view of the present.
