Wittgenstein, Rules and Institutions, by David Bloor (Routledge, 1997)The back cover of this book says that Bloor offers the reader a "challenging new evaluation of Wittgenstein's account of rules and rule-following". Bloor distinguishes between those who read Wittgenstein as a collectivist and those who see him as an individualist. Bloor argues for a "collectivist, sociological understanding" of Wittgenstein's ideas on rule-following.
