The New Wittgenstein by Alice Crary
This book offers a radical reinterpretation of the later writings of a landmark analytic philosopher, arguing that they should be read not as conventional theoretical contributions about mind or language but as therapeutic interventions that dissolve philosophical confusions and reveal ethical and political dimensions of ordinary language. It emphasizes the role of grammar, social practices, and rule-following in shaping meaning and responsibility, reinterprets debates like the private language argument to show how meaning is embedded in shared practices, and defends a non-theoretical, normative reading against standard philosophical reconstructions.
