Abstract

Wittgenstein’s exposition on aspect seeing can be regarded as perhaps one of the least discussed topics among his thoughts. In this light, this paper wishes to contribute to the development of Wittgenstein’s notion of “seeing as.” The thesis of this paper is that although “seeing as” can be normally understood in two ways—as a visual experience and as an attitude—there is another way in which “seeing as” can be understood, that is, as a belief. In this sense, “seeing as” is not a distinct action from believing, that is, believing is “seeing as.”
