AB - This paper examines Peter Winch’s Wittgensteinian understanding of the nature of philosophical investigation of reality. To the nature of philosophical inquiry, along with Wittgenstein, Winch suggests that reality can be investigated only through the understanding of the nature of human understanding. That is, because knowledge is shaped by the context of discourse, the content of knowledge is not related to the fact of reality but to the meaning of language that knowledge uses and implies. Therefore, a primary task of philosophy is to reveal the possibility of discourse in relation to its context, not to appeal to a common ground on which every philosophical discourse relies. In order to discuss the deep link between the intelligibility of reality and the context of discourse, this paper examines Winch’s understanding of the epistemological nature of social science and of religious beliefs.
