There is considerable debate amongst philosophers as to the basic
philosophical problem Wittgenstein is attempting to solve in
Philosophical Investigations. In this bold and original work,
Meredith Williams argues that it is the problem of "normative
similarity". In Blind Obedience Williams demonstrates how
Wittgenstein criticizes traditional, representationalist theories
of language by employing the 'master/novice' distinction of the
learner, arguing that this distinction is often overlooked but
fundamental to understanding philosophical problems about mind and
language. The book not only provides revealing discussions of
Wittgenstein's corpus but also intricate analyses of the work of
Brandom, Dummett, Frege, Sellars, Davidson, Cavell and others.
These are usefully compared in a bid to better situate
Wittgenstein's non-intellectualist, non-theoretical approach and to
highlight is unique features.
