We can only express our experience in an ownerless way


For Wittgenstein, from within language, one cannot individuate a subject at all.

The metaphysical subject (you)  is not an object of experience, but a way of indicating the overall structure of experience.

 Wittgenstein's attempted to forge a subjectless language
 He reasoned: "It is because a language designed for the sole function of expressing everything that a subject might experience has no need for a term designating that subject.
(You cannot move outside language to express 'me' 'I')
One cannot refer, (objectivly)  to the subject of experience from within the language.

The grammar of language ensures that all statements about experience are expressed in the same owner less way." Stern (1995, 84).

"I had a good day" The 'I' in this sentence is within the language realm and cannot separate itself
from 'language'.
