Paul Horwich presents a bold new interpretation of Wittgenstein's later work. He argues that it is Wittgenstein's radically anti-theoretical metaphilosophy--and not his identification of the meaning of a word with its use--that underpins his discussions of specific issues concerning language, the mind, mathematics, knowledge, art, and religion.
