Kafka, Wittgenstein y el lenguaje como intermediario

TL;DRAbstract

This essay, in regard to Kafka's work, exposes the explanatory power of language in the substitution of the guardian in the tale 'Before the Law' by any other language which intends to mediate between human beings and reality. While using a version of Russell's paradox of classes which the author refers to as the paradox of the guardian and judging by the content of this tale, the impossibility of language to refer to anything different from itself becomes evident. Should the message have no other author than the messenger himself, then the vision of Kafka's work must be immanent. Wittgenstein's reflections in Tractatus about language and reality, about the difference between saying and showing as well as the theory of meaning as use of the later Wittgenstein, are the basis of this line of argument.
