In the beginning it seemed to us that someone was missing and that
something was amiss. He was often mentioned, occasionally
discussed, but seldom cited or credited explicitly. And when he was
acknowl edged, it was sometimes for reasons that seemed
anachronistic and misleading. His influence could be felt in a
number of areas of our dis cipline, but few scholars seemed to know
just how, just where, and to what extent. We discovered, almost
accidentally, that we shared an in terest in his legacy, in
unravelling at least some portion of this riddle. Shortly
thereafter, we began discussing ways in which, by pooling our
resources with those of interested others, we could move closer to
a res olution. Put simply, the protagonist of this riddle is Ludwig
Wittgenstein (1889-1951), the son of a wealthy Viennese
industrialist, the influential Cantabrigian philosopher, the rural
Austrian schoolteacher. And the subject of our study is his largely
unexplored legacy for developmental psychology. Although
Wittgenstein's thought seemed to hold special promise for the study
of human development, the philosopher and his work could walk
virtually unrecognized through the landscape of con temporary
developmental issues."
