- London University of California Press 1973
- 360 p.
This is an introduction for students of politics and society tot he later philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein, and some topics in "ordinary-language' philosophy. It argues that Wittgenstein's later philosophy offers a revolutionary new conception of language, and hence a new and deeper understanding of ourselves and the world of human institutions and action. Language is seen as activity, and words as signals, rather than labels for classes of objects.
