description Identifying the end of a science is one of the criteria for knowing that science. In philosophy, philosophers seek to define science based on the end they determine for it. This article represents Wittgenstein’s view on the end of philosophy in Hutto’s words. Hutto begins his argument with the issue of ‘logic’. Afterwards, he challenges the former interpretations on this issue: First, a theoretical interpretation - smacked of metaphysics - is rejected and then, a therapeutic interpretation - upon which many Tractatus remarks are meaningless - is denied. In the end, Hutto’s new interpretation, which is based on description and activism in daily life, is presented. This article discusses that there are also criticisms on Hutto’ new interpretation and a close scrutiny on the components of this new interpretation is required.
