In this brief account of Wittgenstein I aim to do two things. The first is to make
clear, for a non-specialist readership, the main outline of Wittgenstein's thought.
The second is to describe the place of his thought in twentieth-century analytic
philosophy.
Neither of these aims is easy to fulfill in the confines of a short book. There are
a number of reasons for this. The main one is that Wittgenstein's writings are
numerous, complicated, and obscure. As a result they invite competing
interpretations, and have received many. Full justice to Wittgenstein would
require a detailed and therefore lengthy examination of his own writings, together
with some account of the voluminous literature which has grown around his
work. Nothing of the kind can be offered here. My aims, therefore, are modestly
conceived. By 'outline( I mean just that; and I assume no prior knowledge of
philosophy on the reader's part.
Followers of Wittgenstein argue that it is a mistake to attempt short introductory
sketches of his views. One of Wittgenstein's chief disciples, Norman Malcolm,
has written: 'An attempt to summarise [Wittgenstein's work] would be neither
successful nor useful. Wittgenstein compressed his thoughts to the point where
further compression is impossible. What is needed is that they be unfolded and
the connections between them traced out.( Wittgenstein's followers
add as a further reason the fact that summaries of philosophical views tend
naturally to take the form of a systematic account, in the sense of an orderly
setting-out of theses point by point, whereas Wittgenstein in his later philosophy
expressed an aversion to systematic philosophizing and refused to engage in it.
Therefore, brief sketches of Wittgenstein's views, his followers say, seriously
misrepresent not just their content but their intention.
