This volume brings together distinguished Wittgenstein scholars and renowned philosophers of language in order to examine what Wittgenstein has to say about language and to assess its significance for contemporary philosophy.

'Daniel Whiting has brought together a collection of papers on the late philosophy of Wittgenstein, each of which, whether as a whole or in part, has something to offer to the reader...the collection is to be highly recommended.' - The Philosophical Quarterly
