 Wittgenstein’s famous argument against “a private language”, is set by Findlay in a special context. In the Tractatus Wittgenstein endorses solipsism: there is even a example of one eye contemplating a world that is entirely its own. Findlay argued that Wittgenstein not only preached solipsism; he lived it. “Wittgenstein, I consider, is one of the few and genuine complete solipsists who have ever existed” (SF: 62). He believed that he did not know what it is to be like someone other than Wittgenstein, or that anyone else could gasp what his own life was like.
