Additional information

Earlier versions of this paper were presented at the University of Iowa, at a symposium on the “Middle Wittgenstein” at an APA meeting in Oakland, California, and at the Wittgenstein centennial conference at the Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida. I am indebted to members of those audiences for their constructive comments — especially to Jaakko Hintikka, David Pears and Hans Sluga.
