Problems with ‘pseudo-problems’

This chapter applies the lessons learned about debunkers and assurers to ‘pseudo-problem’. I impute much ambiguity to the word and much equivocation to the users of the term, especially to Wittgenstein. The first section shows how ‘problem’ piles on its own multiple meanings and logical hazards. ‘Pseudo’ is coupled with ‘problem’ in the second section. Emphasis is placed on how the interlocking traps set by the combined expression have mis-charted the course of analytic philosophy.
