description The aim of this paper is to review the possible influence of John Maynard Keynes, Frank Ramsey, Piero Sraffa and, through the latter, Antonio Gramsci, on the transition of the philosophical thought of Ludwig Wittgenstein. The work reconstructs, from specialized literature, the relationship of the Austrian philosopher with the economists he met at Cambridge and proposes that these may have permeated the philosophical work of Wittgenstein and, in particular, the way in which the anthropological perspective of the philosophical problems, possibly inspired by Gramsci and transmitted by Sraffa, was received and developed by Wittgenstein in his Philosophical Investigations, in the development of concepts such as form of life and language games. It is concluded that Gramsci's theories about hegemony and linguistic alienation bear a certain similarity to Wittgenstein's philosophy of everyday language.

El artículo tiene por objeto revisar la posible influencia de John Maynard Keynes, Frank Ramsey, Piero Sraffa y, por intermedio de este último, Antonio Gramsci, sobre la transición del pensamiento filosófico de Ludwig Wittgenstein. El trabajo reconstruye, a partir de la literatura especializada, la relación del filósofo austriaco con los economistas que conoció en Cambridge y propone que estos pudieron haber permeado el quehacer filosófico de Wittgenstein y, en particular, la forma en que la perspectiva antropológica de los problemas filosóficos, posiblemente inspirada en Gramsci y transmitida por Sraffa, fue recibida y desarrollada por Wittgenstein en sus Investigaciones Filosóficas, en el desarrollo de conceptos como las formas de vida y los juegos del lenguaje. Se concluye que las teorías de Gramsci sobre la hegemonía y la alienación lingüística tienen cierta similitud con la propuesta de filosofía del lenguaje cotidiano de Wittgenstein.
