in: , Ludwig Wittgenstein, Berlin, Springer, 1996Abstract
The best clue to Wittgenstein's ideas is their problem backgrund in Wittgenstein's own philosophy. This is also one of the most neglected clues to Wittgenstein's meaning. Few interpreters seem to have any inkling even of the main features of Wittgenstein's philosophical development, and fewer still have seriously tried to see in any detail what problems Wittgenstein was struggling with and more generally how his views grew out of his own earlier ones.
