Abstract

Alexander Miller has been writing about rule-following for the better part of 30 years, and it shows in his new book, Wittgenstein & the Possibility of Meaning (WPM), which displays an easy mastery of the topic and its literature. WPM divides into two thematic halves. The first three chapters consist of an overview of the problem(s) of rule-following and the secondary literature that has amassed on the topic, while the final two chapters present Miller's own non-reductionist account of rule-following.
