Wittgenstein used a puzzling phrase 'my world'. The authoress stresses that at least two questions are buried in this formulation. It is unclear, who is the 'I' that in some way possesses the world, and it is equally unclear what it means to make of the world one's own possession. In her interpretation a clue to the right answer is to be found in Wittgenstein's conception of the will, and specifically in his claim that the will is unable to change the world. This claim is counterbalanced by another, in which Wittgenstein says that man can make himself independent of the vicissitudes of fortune. Perhaps this is how his world can be made independent of the common world inaccessible to his will.
