Notes

1 For instance in a letter to G. E. Moore [15.6.1929], Wittgenstein in Cambridge, ed. Brian McGuinness (Malden, MA: Wiley-Blackwell, 2012, p. 171). Horwich's motto is based on Drury's notes ‘Conversations with Wittgenstein’, in Rush Rhees (ed.), Recollections of Wittgenstein (Oxford and New York: Oxford University Press, 1984), p. 110.

2 Philosophical Investigations, §109. The above quotation is taken from the 4th edition (2009), which, though it is referred to in passing (viii, n. 1), apparently appeared too late to be taken into account by Horwich.

3 Wittgenstein, The Big Typescript: TS 213, ed. and trans. by C. Grant Luckhardt and Maximilian A. E. Aue (Malden, MA: Blackwell, 2005), p. 54. This publication is not mentioned by Horwich. Its disregard is a pity, especially if one remembers the fact that its large chapter on Philosophy can in more than one way be seen as an ancestor of that part of Wittgenstein's later philosophy which is dearest to Horwich's heart.
