Book Synopsis
In this book Saul Kripke brings his powerful philosophical intelligence to bear on Wittgenstein's analysis of the notion of following a rule.

Trade Review
Kripke's interpretation, and his arguments, deserve—and will repay—extremely careful attention. * Philosophical Books *
Saul Kripke has thought uncommonly hard about the central argument of Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations and produced an uncommonly clear and vivid account of that argument…set out with all the clarity, incisiveness and economy that one expects of its author. * Times Literary Supplement *
