This book aims to explain the decline of the later Wittgensteinian
tradition in analytic philosophy during the second half of the
twentieth century. Throughout the 1950s, Oxford was the center of
analytic philosophy and Wittgenstein - the later Wittgenstein - the
most influential contemporary thinker within that philosophical
tradition. Wittgenstein's methods and ideas were widely accepted,
with everything seeming to point to the Wittgensteinian paradigm
having a similar impact on the philosophical scenes of all English
speaking countries. However, this was not to be the case. By the
1980s, albeit still important, Wittgenstein was considered as a
somewhat marginal thinker. What occurred within the history of
analytic philosophy to produce such a decline? This book expertly
traces the early reception of Wittgenstein in the United States,
the shift in the humanities to a tradition rooted in the natural
sciences, and the economic crisis of the mid-1970s, to reveal the
factors that contributed to the eventual hostility towards the
later Wittgensteinian tradition.
