Sumario:In Anglo-Saxon philosophy and in continental philosophy, as well as in the social sciences, an interest has grown to analyze the anthropological —and ethnological— aspect in the thought of Ludwig Wittgenstein; especially in the texts that are part of his late philosophy. For many, his turn towards the vital, human, social, cultural and pragmatic field in the description of language articulates an anthropological and ethnological vision of great importance. This, however, seems to us that it has produced a series of forced interpretations as an ambiguous and confusing use of concepts such as: 'anthropology', 'anthropological' or 'ethnology'. In this sense, the following paper will evaluate and will analyze the possibilities in which Wittgenstein's philosophy could show some kind of anthropological orientation, more than an approach, without violating his particular way of doing philosophy.
