ABSTRACT
Wittgenstein’s philosophy is something profoundly ethical inherent to that endeavour. So far, that claim in itself might justly be considered to be not particularly original, being more or less present already in Waismann, later Baker, and Cavell. The task for the philosophical therapist is to break the grip this philosophical picture has over her interlocutor, that is, to show him there are other ways of seeing things. This chapter demonstrates the possibility of the liberating of philosophy itself. It explicates briefly how a great virtue of our approach to Wittgenstein, if it is successful, is that it makes the way (including the style). The chapter explores in a little detail the ethics and politics of the liberatory conception of philosophy – the liberating (of) philosophy – that the author here champion, following later Baker et al, following Wittgenstein. This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book.
