My subsequent discussion of Wittgenstein's treatment of this problem draws very heavily on Chapter 10 of Anthony Kenny's excellentWittgenstein (Harmondsworth: Penguin Books, 1975). For a fuller discussion of Wittgenstein's later views on solipsism see P.M.S. Hacker,Insight and Illusion (London: Oxford University Press, 1972), pp. 185–250.
