Special thanks are due to the Alexander von Humboldt-Stiftung, whose generosity enabled Smith to spend the period 1983–85 in Belgium and Germany, where his contributions to this paper were written. Early versions of portions of the paper were read at the 1982 Wittgenstein Conference in Kirchberg in conjunction with the essay (1983) by Peter Simons. We are grateful to him and to Karl Schuhmann, as also to the editors of this issue of Topoi, for helpful comments.
