Abstract

This paper analyzes the much maligned remarks of Wittgenstein on Gödel's theorem. It is not intended defend these comments, nor argue that Wittgenstein said something that he did not. In fact, it would be impossible ignore what is textual just to provide an interpretation more palatable of the author’s position. The purpose of the text is only to clarify the positions really maintained by Wittgenstein on the subject. I hold, as much as possible, that there is some reasonability in Wittgenstein’s positions, by taking into count the general scheme of their remarks on mathematics.
