The dissertation examines the approach by the philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein, to the theory of mind, as it is commonly understood in philosophy and psychology. The notion of 'mind' developed over a lengthy period of time in an attempt to explain how humans can know (experience and reflect on) a world which is external to their own bodies. The issue originated in epistemology and the search for valid truth as opposed to opinion. The idea that the world is only explicable in physical terms was not obvious before the 'modern' era of science. Plato, for example, considered the problem to be how there can be 'certain; knowledge or 'true' knowledge of an ever changing confusing world. The development of the notion of the mind itself led on to the development of the mind- body problem.
