ABSTRACT
The first question to be asked in the light of the discussion in Chapter 5 is “where does Wittgenstein take us?” If he is providing an account of rulefollowing that retains the necessity and normativity of rules (pace the reductionist temptation) while rejecting any form of objectified meaning (pace the intellectualist approach to meaning) and offering more than the autonomy of grammar appears to do (pace the temptation to mystification), just what is it? What is the “way of grasping a rule which is not an interpretation” (PI §201)?
