The grammar of grammar

Robert L. Arrington

pp. 210-220

Wittgenstein's conception of the proper nature of philosophical activity is highly problematic in both his early and later work. The purpose and limits he attributes to philosophy frequently appear to be inconsistent with the substantive results of his own practice of philosophizing. This is perhaps less so in the later thought, but there his restriction of the role of philosophy to the therapeutic dismantling of confusion nevertheless seems at odds with the wonderfully rich and revealing descriptions of grammar he provides.
