Reviews

... represents one of the most subtle and sustained developments available of the communitarian or social reading of Wittgenstein's later work. <br>-Mind <br> a remarkably clear and immensely rewarding book. <br>-Philosophical Investigations <br> Williams' engagement with various themes in Wittgenstein's later writings is highly original, and her arguments should stimulate all of us who work in these areas of inquiry. This is a truly superb contribution to current philosophical debates. <br>-Jeff Coulter, Boston University <br> sacrifices nothing in terms of rigour or sensitivity to textual detail, but manages to turn the discussion in such a way that issues of real significance are once again on the philosophical agenda. <br>-David Bloor, University of Edinburgh <br>
