  Ludwig Wittgenstein (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Wittgenstein was born on April 26, 1889 in Vienna, Austria, to a wealthy industrial family, well-situated in intellectual and cultural Viennese circles.
Wittgenstein used this term to designate any conception which allows for a gap between question and answer, such that the answer to the question could be found at a later date.
Wittgenstein adopts the term ‘grammar’ in his quest to describe the workings of this public, socially governed language, using it in a somewhat idiosyncratic manner.

  Ludwig Wittgenstein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Wittgenstein's political sympathies lay on the left, and while he was opposed to Marxist theory, he described himself as a "communist at heart" and romanticized the life of labourers.
Wittgenstein was increasingly frustrated to find that, although he was not yet ready to publish his work, some other philosophers were beginning to publish essays containing inaccurate presentations of his own views based on their conversations with him.
Wittgenstein's new philosophical methodology was to continually remind the philosopher of the facts of linguistic usage that they had forgotten in their search for abstract "truths".

 IS THE NEW WITTGENSTEIN REALLY NEW
Wittgenstein has no ‘positive’ vision of philosophy (or of language) at all, ‘only’ a ‘negative’ account of the temptations to illusion and nonsense to which we are all subject.
Taking himself to be an advocate of Wittgenstein’s therapeutic conception of philosophy, he attacks virtually every contemporary philosopher and virtually every candidate ‘great’ forebear of Wittgenstein as demonstrably confused, hopelessly misled by the structure and possibilities of language.
The New Wittgenstein is far ahead of the ‘old’ Wittgenstein, and likewise of what the philosophical traditions from which Wittgenstein emerged have been generally understood to be -- but I think that those philosophical traditions too have been badly underestimated.

 Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Mathematics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Wittgenstein says that “[t]he logic of the world, which is shown in tautologies by the propositions of logic, is shown in equations by mathematics” (6.22).
Wittgenstein's iterative (inductive) “interpretation of numerals as exponents of an operation variable” is a “reduction of arithmetic to operation theory,” where “operation” is construed as a “logical operation” (italics added) (Frascolla 1994, 37), which shows that ‘the label “no-classes logicism” tallies with the Tractatus view of arithmetic’ (Frascolla 1998, 133; 1997, 354).
Wittgenstein stresses that he is trying to ‘warn’ us against this ‘aspect’—the idea that the foregoing proposition about fractions “introduces us to the mysteries of the mathematical world,” which exists somewhere as a completed totality, awaiting our prodding and our discoveries.

 Wittgenstein K.M. Stokes, Ph.D. copyright 1996
Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein, (born Vienna, Apr. 26, 1889, died Apr. 29, 1951), was one of the most original and influential philosophers of the 20th century.
In 1929, Wittgenstein returned to Cambridge, and in 1939 he was appointed to the chair in philosophy formerly held by G. Moore.
Wittgenstein wrote continually, and lecture notes, as well as dictated manuscripts, circulated widely, although often against his wishes.

 Wittgenstein, Education and the Philosophy of Mathematics
In readings of the new Wittgenstein it is maintained that his philosophy of mathematics was not separate from his philosophy of language and that, against Dummett, there is a unity of Wittgenstein’s later philosophy of mathematics with the Philosophical Investigations (see Gerrard, 1996: 171).
Also in keeping with this new view the emphasis is placed not on any substantive position or doctrine that Wittgenstein held, but rather—in accord with the therapeutic notion of philosophy to which he subscribed—on the fact that Wittgenstein constantly warned against the attempt to construct theories in philosophy (see e.g., Floyd, 1991, 1995).
Wittgenstein might thus be interpreting as criticizing a range of views in philosophy of mathematics – for example, psychologism, logicism, Platonism, intuitionism, formalism, conventionalism – but not positively associated with any doctrine or position.

 “Philosophical Investigations §122: Neglected Aspects” (hereafter PINA) was first published in 1991
Wittgenstein presents us with different aspects of our language use, customs and practices with the intention of helping us to free ourselves from the grip of a particular, entrenched, picture or its lure.
Again we are faced with the prospect of Wittgenstein, at a really quite basic level, contradicting his own metaphilosophical remarks in the very same text in which he makes those remarks; a text, we should recall, he laboured over for sixteen years.
It is essential to avoiding misunderstanding the point we are making here to understand that we understand the point made by Witherspoon throughout his essay in The New Wittgenstein: namely, that being nonsensical is best understood not as a property of sentences, nor even as a property of sentences in contexts.

 Essays in Philosophy
Wittgenstein did not think that his own philosophy was exempt from the criticisms he apparently makes of 'uses of language' which are in an important sense not genuine uses of language.
Wittgenstein's language, his own 'speaking outside language-games', is transitional -- it is intended to be part of a (probably never-ending) project of getting us to be able to be free of philosophical worries (of certain strange kinds of perplexity); even worries about the character of language being used 'outside language-games', ultimately.
Wittgenstein speaks not of language-games where words have their original homes, but simply of the language ("der Sprache"); language in use, which is the home of words.

 Peter Winch
A smaller minority still, of ‘Wittgensteinian’ and ethnomethodological sociologists, have tried to foment a new form of ‘social studies’ which explicitly follows the non-scientistic path that Winch intimates.
In 1990, Winch produced a new ‘Preface’ for The Idea of a Social Science, which is important in that it tries to head off various widespread misunderstandings of the earlier work, and to make clear the parallelism between it and the work of Wittgenstein’s great student, Rush Rhees (a colleague of Winch’s at Swansea).
Winch made important contributions to ethics, to the understanding of the Holocaust, to the philosophy of literature, to Wittgenstein scholarship, and in translating some of Wittgenstein’s work.
