This paper, delivered at the Wittgenstein Conference, Florida State University, on April 1, 1982, is a fragment of a work in progress on the Investigations. I am profoundly indebted to Burton Dreben, discussions with whom over the last fourteen years have greatly influenced my views on the later Wittgenstein. I am most grateful too to Thomas Ricketts for many instructive comments and much helpful advice.
