Abstract

First, a persuasive image of the interior is objected to as an entity demarcated from the exterior by metaphysical or empirical criteria. Wittgenstein's grammatical analysis blurs the boundaries between both concepts that can only find demarcation through logical investigations. What we call interior is often uttered and it is in exteriority that we find criteria for its conceptualization. One of those investigations occurs through the analysis of sentences that enunciate mental or psychological phenomena, which are profoundly asymmetric between first and third person. In the first person, these sentences externalize the soul. It is precisely because the soul is externalized in behavior that psychological science is possible. It is not about considering the soul, psychic events or experiences, as objects similar to physical ones, which are inspected and reported by the subject, nor about considering behavior itself as a physical object and scientific object of Psychology. What emerges as a scientific possibility for a Psychology based on Wittgenstein is the very study of externalizations or utterances as a way of inserting the soul into language.
