Throughout his philosophical development, Wittgenstein was more
concerned with language than with any other topic. No other
philosopher has been as influential on our understanding of the
deep problems surrounding language, and yet the true significance
of his writing on the subject is difficult to assess, since most of
the current debates regarding language tend to overlook his work.
In this book, Thomas McNally shows that philosophers of language
still have much to learn from Wittgenstein's later writings. The
book examines the finer details of his arguments while also
clarifying their importance for debates outside the field of
Wittgenstein studies. Presenting the issues thematically (as they
relate to questions of reference, scepticism about meaning, and the
social dimension of language, among others), the book explores how
the arguments in the Philosophical Investigations remain relevant,
compelling us to reflect in novel and challenging ways on the
nature of language.
