Rules, games and experiences

Wittgenstein's discussion of rule-following in the light of his development

Jaakko Hintikka

pp. 315-333

Abstract

The best clue to Wittgenstein's ideas is their problem backgrund in Wittgenstein's own philosophy. This is also one of the most neglected clues to Wittgenstein's meaning. Few interpreters seem to have any inkling even of the main features of Wittgenstein's philosophical development, and fewer still have seriously tried to see in any detail what problems Wittgenstein was struggling with and more generally how his views grew out of his own earlier ones.
