See Bede Rundle's _Wittgenstein and Contemporary Philosophy of Language_ (Blackwell, 1990) for a critical evaluation of Wittgenstein's later writings which shows the incoherence of his account of language. Rundle comes out in favour of some type of theory of meaning, although he rejects most of the candidates that have been offered. -- Marko Amnell amnell@klaava.helsinki.fi Graduate Student in Philosophy
