Among contemporary Western philosophers,Wittgenstein is particularly special.His re-understanding of philosophy can be said to be a turning point in the history of philosophy and philosophy.Most academic circles put his thoughts in the framework of analytical philosophy to study the philosophy of language,but his philosophy of mathematics has not received due attention.It should not be overlooked that Wittgenstein stepped into the field of philosophy through basic research in mathematics.Early works such as Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and later Philosophical Investigations and Remarks on The Foundation of Mathematics all reflected Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics.This paper studies Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics and tries to be innovative in terms of research methods and perspectives.First of all,in the research method,on the basis of reading a large number of documents,reference and citation of more detailed foreign information,the basic theory related to Wittgenstein's mathematical thinking has been carefully sorted out and summarized.By comparing and contrasting the philosophical thoughts of its early and late periods,the source of the philosophy of mathematics and the evolution of the later philosophy of mathematics were combined,based on the early "Logical Form" thought and the later view of the philosophy of mathematics with "Language Games" as the main line.Taking Wittgenstein's early and late mathematical ideological sources and his thinking process as a reference,to comment on Wittgenstein's philosophy as a whole to show the new paradigm established by him.Secondly,from the perspective of research,the influence of Wittgenstein's inheritance of Brouwer's intuitionism and the influence of his "Social Constructivism" approach on post-modernism thought as a new perspective to discuss his influence on post-modernism and mathematics philosophy.It can be said that while Wittgenstein criticized the traditional philosophy of mathematics,it also made people reflect on the essence and value of mathematical propositions.In this sense,Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics is worth studying.It needs to be further discussed and explored in the future.Therefore,this paper studies Wittgenstein's thoughts from the two dimensions of mathematics and postmodernism,to explain the transformation process of Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics and its impact on postmodernism,In order to arouse readers' attention to Wittgenstein's philosophical thoughts,especially the philosophy of mathematics.
