Description
An evaluation of Wittgenstein's account of rules and rule-following which brings together a combination of philosophical and sociological viewpoints. Wittgenstein claimed that the way we follow rules is an institution without ever explaining what he meant by this term. Wittgenstein's contribution to the debate has since been subject to opposed interpretations by collectivist and individualist readings by philosophers; in the light of this controversy, Bloor argues for a collectivist, sociological understanding of Wittgenstein's later work.
