There are at leastthree different approaches to self-referential in the tradition of analytic philosophy including Russellian approach, positivistian, approachand Wittgensteinian approach. Each of these approaches have suggested distinct solution for the self-referential problem. Among themthe Wittgensteinian one has caused much debate. The penultimate Phrase of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (6.54) says that all terms are meaningless, Including himself.This self-referential puts the audience of Tractatus in the paradoxical situation.This self-referential puts the audience of Tractatus in the paradoxical situation.Wittgenstein, by invent ion of the concept of ladder wants to escape from t he self-referential. Of the two interpretations, Resolute Reading and Ineffability Reading have addressed this topic. They try to give text bay consistent readivg of the interpreting the word "nonsense". But these two interpretations to each other through the criticism seems to be basically self-referential approach to resolve the crisis Wittgensteinian not help.But leveling criticism by these two interpretations to each other shows that basically self-referential approach is incapabel to resolve this crisis.
