An interpretation of the ideas of language developed by Wittgenstein in his "Philosophical Investigations", this study places the "private language argument" in the context of wider themes and explains the consequences of this argument in terms of the philosophical theory of meaning.
This book provides a novel interpretation of the ideas about language in Wittgenstein's 'Philosophical Investigations'. In particular, the author places the 'private language argument' in the context of wider themes in the Investigations, and thereby develops a picture of what it is for words to bear the meaning they do. Travis elaborates two versions of a private language argument, and shows the consequences of these for current trends in the philosophical theory of meaning.
