 The “private language argument” in this context, becomes an almost hysterical attempt to provide a public world and public communication between the separate selves of the Tractatus. To insist (against private languages) that “inner processes must have outer criteria” is not a problem for Findlay, who remained a quasi-behaviorist to the end. The problem is to claim, as Wittgenstein did, that in most cases outward criteria cannot be found, and to declare on this basis that inner processes are largely mythical. On Findlay’s interpretation, Wittgenstein spent his youthful years hiding his inner experiences, and then in later life invented a philosophy that declared that he had nothing to hide.
