Assembling Reminders for Educational Research: Wittgenstein on Philosophy.
Smeyers, Paul
Educational Theory, v48 n3 p287-308 Sum 1998
Ludwig Wittgenstein's insights on the nature of philosophy have changed philosophy in general and the philosophy of education specifically. This essay discusses Wittgenstein's philosophy about the connection between language and life form, describes Wittgenstein's constructive philosophical account of how meaning and understanding are possible, and examines the relevance of his views on philosophy to educational research.
