维特根斯坦对传统形而上学的批判建立在语言图像论基础上,他认为任何形而上学的讨论都位于意义领域之外,唯一正确的哲学方法是为自然科学而舍弃哲学。他并不是完全反对或者拒绝形而上学,而是把形而上学限定在不可说的范围之内。因而,语言图像论不可避免的带有了一些形而上学性。 Wittgenstein’s critique of traditional metaphysics is based on linguistic image theory. He believes that any metaphysical discussion is outside the domain of meaning. The only correct way of philosophy is to abandon philosophy for the natural sciences. Instead of completely opposing or rejecting metaphysics, he confined metaphysics to the unspeakable scope. Therefore, linguistic image theory inevitably has some metaphysics.
