About this book

Over the past few decades, the reception of Wittgenstein’s work has focused primarily on the central role that rules play in constituting a practice. Wittgenstein himself, however, always emphasises that a practice not only has rules, but also a “Witz” (i.e., a point). He even maintains that, “the problem of philosophy is the problem of Witz.” Despite Wittgenstein’s insistance on this matter, no systematic study has yet done full justice to the significance of Witz in Wittgenstein’s philosophy. By considering both the role of rules and Witz, the present study casts a new light on mathematics, language, and morals.

Reviews

"Timo-Peter Ertz's book Regel und Witz is written in lucid and elegant German, and the way he used his leitmotiv, the key concepts of rule and point, in order to organise a lot of familiar material in a new way is insightful and illuminating. Anyone with an interest in Wittgenstein's later philosophy would profit from a study of Ertz's thoughtful discussions."
Severin Schroeder in: Philosophical Investigations 2/2010
