Blind Obedience: Paradox and Learning in the Later Wittgenstein

By Meredith Williams

Book Overview

In Blind Obedience Williams demonstrates how Wittgenstein criticizes traditional, representationalist theories of language by employing the 'master/novice' distinction of the learner, arguing that this distinction is often overlooked but fundamental to understanding philosophical problems about mind and language.
