In 1946-47 Wittgenstein taught his last lecture course at Cambridge before his retirement. These lectures were on the philosophy of psychology in general and specifically on experience, language, meaning and understanding. This article discusses the application and meaning of the concept of “meaning-blindness” by Wittgenstein in the context of his work and around these topics. This article presents a theoretical-conceptual approach based on Wittgenstein’s linguistic psychology and philosophy of grammar, assuming the thesis that linguistic production and culture affect the common use of language. In this perspective, the difficulties revealed by an intersubjective semantics are discussed, with the aim of revealing the semantic aporias manifested by the experience of a “meaning-blindness”.
