The argumenta-tion is based on a disputation with a symptomatic example used by Wittgen-stein to substan-tiate his language games theory. The analysis of the example at-tempts to indicate that the language games theory, which has to justify the rejection of the existence of pre-linguistic experience, meets with discre-pancies and difficulties which limit the range of this theory to a certain extent. Because it presupposes the existence of {\quotedblbase}private{\textquotedblleft}, experiential sphere in which {\textendash} even before language and verbali-zation enter the game {\textendash} the struc-turing of the world, identifi-cation of things and an elementary under-stan-ding of these processes must be realized. It seems that the dis-cussion on this topic is not only a spe-cific polemic over one problem that can be found in Wittgenstein, but has wider implications because the language games concept in the form of various {\quotedblbase}discourses{\textquotedblleft}, {\quotedblbase}vocabularies{\textquotedblleft} or {\quotedblbase}cultures{\textquotedblleft} has found great favour in contemporary postmo-dern philo-sophy. On its basis postmodern philosophy very radi-cally (and perhaps against the will of Wittgenstein himself) crosses out the world, profanes its rational, objec-tive description and calls for free variation of different interpretations {\textendash} their legitimacy is authenti-cated only by a consensus of their users. In this dispute, phe-nome-nology does not declare that there is a single true description of the world and that it is possible to find a reliable criterion for its definite legiti-mization. It does, however, draw on the fact that so called pre-linguistic expe-rience does not succumb to the variability of langu-age games and the interests of its users, but that it more and more cle-arly reflects the unitary and scru-table style of showing the real, ob-jectively given world even though this al-ways happens in se-emingly impalpable subjective acts.}, url = {http://www.klemens.sav.sk/fiusav/doc/organon/2005/1/21-39.pdf}, author = {Blecha, Ivan} }
