This book assesses the respective prospects of two competing
methodological approaches to the study of meaning and
communication, as well truth and inference, each figuring
prominently within the analytic tradition of philosophy of
language. The first, 'logistical' approach is characterized by the
employment of de-compositional logical analysis designed to resolve
various theoretically problematic semantic and logical puzzles. The
representative proponents of this approach are the three great
early analytic philosophers (Frege, Russell, and the early
Wittgenstein). The second, 'phenomenological' approach, by
contrast, instead advocates careful inspection and detailed
description of our actual linguistic practices, along with general
features of the ordinary circumstances, and lived experiences, in
which they are situated. The aim of such description is then to
dissolve the aforementioned puzzles by showing them to derive from
key misunderstandings of these practices and circumstances. The
principle proponent here is the later Wittgenstein. Expanding upon
the work of the later Wittgenstein, this book argues that
considerations regarding the nature of following a rule, and
deriving from the impossibility of private languages, decisively
recommend the phenomenological over the logistical methodology, in
particular because these considerations demand that we identify
linguistic meanings with the disciplined uses of words within
public, and proto-typically social, linguistic practices.
