ABSTRACT

What is your aim in philosophy?—To show the fly the way out of the fly-bottle. (§ 308-309)

In Wittgenstein's (1953) words, "the axis of reference of our examination must be rotated, but about the fixed point of ourrealneed" (§ 108). Recall our discussion of the experience of the because. This is Wittgenstein's clinical intervention: "'But being guided is surely a particular experience! '—The answer to this is: you are now thinking of a particular experience of being guided" (§ 173).
