It is usually assumed that Wittgenstein's philosophical development
is determined either by one dramatic or one subtle change of mind.
This book challenges the one-change view. Wittgenstein had many
changes of mind and they are so substantial that he can be
understood as holding several different philosophies in the late
twenties and early thirties. Early in 1929, Wittgenstein envisages
a complementary (phenomenological) symbolism in order to carry out
the Tractarian task of giving the limits of language and thought.
The symbolism failed and he then developed a comprehensive notion
of 'grammar' that, he hoped, would fulfill the task. This notion of
'grammar' leads in 1930-1 to the calculus conception of language,
which is still defended in the Big Typescript (1932-3). As a
complementary tool of the calculus conception, Wittgenstein invents
the genetic method, which aims at dissolving philosophical puzzles
by the understanding of how they come about. After the Big
Typescript, Wittgenstein assimilates an anthropological perspective
and puts the genetic method at the center of the stage of his
philosophy. The use of the genetic method (associated with an
anthropological perspective) develops gradually, taking various
forms of application: in the Blue Book, in the versions of the
Brown Book (1934-6), and in the Philosophical Investigations.
