Description
According to Wittgenstein, philosophical puzzles are due to deep prejudices about language. In this collection of essays, in honour of Rush Rhees, philosophers investigate the hold such prejudices have on us in a number of closely related areas of philosophical enquiry. Not all philosophers influenced by Wittgenstein pay attention to particulars; some insist on finding theories even in his profoundly anti-theoretical remarks. As they engage in criticism of influential contemporary philosophers, the essayists in this collection avoid that temptation. That they do so is due, in no small measure, to their acquaintance with the philosopher Rush Rhees.
