Cook, John W. - Wittgenstein, Empiricism, and Language

In his lectures during the 1930s Wittgenstein often commented on the difference between what he was doing and what previous philosophers had done. Yet despite these differences there were also connections, he said. Too often, I believe, the differences have been emphasized and the connections ignored, with the result that his work has been seriously misunderstood. I want, if possible, to rectify this situation.
