Problems
and Projects for Wittgenstein on Rules
and Private Language |
This page contains (or will contain) accounts of a variety of
problems arising from Kripke's text, generally ones about which there is still
debate or discussion. My main goal in each case is not to set out the final
word on the issue in question but simply to set out a brief summary or overview
of it, along with whatever information I have about the treatment of the
problem by others. I may also provide suggestions for further work on the issue.
As always, comments and suggestions are welcome.
