Abstract
This paper presents refutation against one of the most infamous rationalisations in philosophy, Wittgenstein’s Private Language Argument. My counterargument is based on a potential misconception in attributing certain limited properties to the definition of transiency. If my understanding of the term is correct, this partially collapses the Private Language Argument.
Keywords: Philosophy, Wittgenstein, Private Language Argument, Sensations
