Abstract. The article analyses L. Wittgenstein’s philosophical life. Using Wittgenstein’s philosophical search as an example, the paper considers aesthetics of philosophical life in culture, justifies the existential function of philosophy - to help an individual to improve his life through self-cognition and self-criticism. Wittgenstein’s philosophy is not just a theory, it is life practice. The researcher concludes that Wittgenstein’s aesthetic model of philosophy includes the following basic characteristics: aspiration for self-improvement, courage and service to the society. It is emphasized that Wittgenstein’s philosophical conceptions should be considered as an integral element of the philosopher’s inner world.
