Google Scholar) I sidestep the discussion of the Tractatus here because I think the difficulty about the relation between concepts and acts of deploying them arises already in Frege's work.
(See, for instance, Baker, Gordon and Hacker, Peter, Skepticism, Rules and Language, 95– 96. Google Scholar) It therefore peculiar when readers of the later Wittgenstein invoke that notion in order to articulate what they regard as the solution to the rule-following paradox. (See Wittgenstein, Ludwig, Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, 4.
The terminology of “internal relations” is, of course, from the Tractatus. As I see it, the latter problem arises regardless of the preferred view on the relation between conceptual thinking and language and it is independent of any specific position on the difference between our use of mathematical functions and the deployment of ordinary concepts.Ģ4 See BGM, I, §§102-4. But I think that they present a distraction when it comes to the task of getting the rule-following problem into view. CrossRef Google Scholar) I don't want to deny that all of these questions are addressed in the Philosophische Untersuchungen. (See Davidson, Donald, “ The Second Person,” in his Subjective, Intersubjective, Objective, 107–21, esp. Google Scholar) Focusing on the use of signs in the school arithmetical illustration, other readers have suggested that the problem is a problem that only arises for the constitution of linguistic meaning and not for the constitution of conceptual content: (See, for instance, McGinn, Colin, Wittgenstein on Meaning Google Scholar, 144ff.) Yet other readers suggest that it is about the epistemological problem how I can come know the meaning of what another means with his words. (For the latter see, for instance, Cavell, Stanley, “ The Argument of the Ordinary: Scenes of Instruction in Wittgenstein and Kripke,” in his Conditions Handsome and Unhandsome, 64– 100. It has been suggested, for instance, that the problem is about mathematics or, alternatively, that the problem arises due to unwarranted application of a mathematical model of determinacy to our ordinary concept use.
