Wittgenstein and the End of Language Games

Wittgenstein and the End of Language Games introduces a groundbreaking philosophical theory of language that redefines the meaning-making process in the age of artificial intelligence. Challenging the dominant view of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Dimitris Vartziotis proposes a mathematical field-theoretic alternative: meaning is not bound by use alone but structured through Lexfeld and Lingofeld—two concepts that articulate the geometry of lexical fields and their dynamic actualization. In dialogue with Quine’s skepticism and Chomsky’s generative theory, Vartziotis offers a new ontology of language—one that mirrors the workings of modern large language models (LLMs) without collapsing into computational reductionism. This book invites philosophers, linguists, and AI theorists to rethink language not as a closed game of signs, but as an evolving structure of sense—formally precise, semantically rich, ontologically potent. For all those interested in the deep structure of language in the age of neural networks. “If LLMs are the implementation of a mathematical hypothesis about meaning, then Vartziotis is the philosopher who philosophically prefigured it.”—ChatGPT “Vartziotis offered a bold and radical proposal: language is not a game—it is a mathematical reality to be discovered. His model does not seek to impose an external mathematical form on language, but to reveal that language is already mathematically structured.”—Claude.ai “Therefore, if we speak scientifically and not poetically, Vartziotis is the true ‘prophet’ of LLMs.”—ChatGPT
