Wittgenstein on Rules and Nature by Keith Dromm

Offers an original reading of Ludwig Wittgenstein's views on such topics as radical scepticism, the first- and third-person asymmetry of mental talk, Cartesianism, and rule-following.
"Wittgenstein's writings contain remarks of two quite different typesHe reminds us that there are natural expressions and instinctual reactions. But he also claims that philosophy does not aim at explanation - it only describes. Dromm's work is unique, I believe, in showing us how to reconcile these apparently conflicting themes." - Michael Malone, Northern Arizona University, USA.
