Abstract

In this paper we intend to establish the basis for conducting a comparison not usually made between Althusser's perspective concerning ideology and Wittgenstein's one in relation to his  language approach. We try to show a parallel between the remarks of Althusser on the constitution of individuals in subjects “through the category of subject” and an analogous movement implied in Wittgenstein own remarks on the constitutions of speakers in language-games, which, if our interpretation is right, should be described as the “interpellation of individuals through the category of meaning”.
