This volume investigates the methodological underpinnings of Ludwig Wittgenstein's later philosophy as presented in the Philosophical Investigations. The authors, Erich Ammereller and Eugen Fischer, analyze how Wittgenstein’s specific techniques of philosophical inquiry function to dissolve conceptual confusion. By examining the interplay between language-games and rule-following, the text provides a rigorous framework for understanding how Wittgenstein’s method serves as a therapeutic tool for philosophical problems.

Experts recognize this work as a significant contribution to the secondary literature on Wittgenstein’s later period. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is intended for scholars and advanced students of analytic philosophy.
