It is widely accepted among Wittgensteinian scholars that he expounded no succinct and precise theory regarding the philosophy of education. His interest in the field of education, nonetheless, can be seen in his pedagogical approach to the philosophical problems which he tried to solve. The overall argument of this study consists of making evident and defending the claim that Wittgenstein's ideas are valid theoretical foundations for a clarification of the aforementioned educational concepts and that based on this a new perspective of understanding them is offered. The claim will ultimately show that Wittgenstein's ideas are not only confined to the philosophy of language but also significant in and not alien to the philosophy of education.
