The research under review challenges conventional readings that posit a clean rupture between the early and late Wittgenstein, instead arguing for a set of continuities largely overlooked in analytic philosophy. By analyzing the research’s treatment of rule-following, private language, and ordinary language philosophy, this review situates the work within contemporary Wittgenstein scholarship, assesses its methodological innovations, and identifies potential limitations. The article concludes that while the research offers a compelling hermeneutic for reading Wittgenstein as a unified thinker, its reception will likely depend on how convincingly it reconciles the Tractatus’s mystical silence with the later emphasis on public, criterion-governed linguistic practices. Ultimately, this review affirms the enduring relevance of language-games for fields as diverse as cognitive science, political theory, and literary studies.</jats:p>}, number={2}, journal={International Journal of Language, Literature and Culture}, publisher={AI Publications}, author={Sarkar, Shiben Kumar}, year={2022}, pages={27–34} }
