Wittgenstein's comparison of philosophical methods to therapies has been interpreted in highly different ways. I identify the illness, the patient, the therapist and the ideal of health in Wittgenstein's philosophical methods and answer four closely related questions concerning them that have often been wrongly answered by commentators. The results of this paper are, first, some answers to crucial questions: philosophers are not literally ill, patients of philosophical therapies are not always philosophers, not all philosophers qualify as therapists, the therapies are not necessarily to be thought of as psychological therapies and the ideal of health does not consist in the end of philosophy. Second, the paper shows that the comparison has had a misleading effect, because properties of therapies have been illegitimately projected onto the philosophical methods advanced by Wittgenstein.

“…This interpretation emphasizes the difference between acting in mere conformity with the rule and actual rule‐following (Baker and Hacker 2009, chaps. 3 and 4; Glock , 323–29). As Baker, Hacker, and Glock argue, a central criterion of genuine rule‐following is the speaker's ability to cite the rule as a reason for her performance, that is, to justify her particular application of the rule by reference to the rule itself.…”

“…The relation between the rule and its application is not empirical (mechanical, causal), reducible to a mere statistical regularity. Instead, the relation is internal (grammatical) in the sense that one relatum cannot be understood independently of the other (see PI §§ 199–200, 222, 232, 475–76; Glock , 189–91). Against this interpretation, Glüer and Wikforss argue that the requirement that the speaker be able to cite a rule in justification for her linguistic action is psychologically too demanding.…”

“…Several commentators, including Bell, have noticed that Wittgenstein's argument in Philosophical Investigations § 201 bears close resemblance to Kant's treatment of the application of rules to particulars in the Critique of Pure Reason (CPR A 132–36; Bell ; Glock , 326; Haugeland , n. 4; McDowell , 110). For Kant, the theme is as central as it is for Wittgenstein.…”

What Kind of Normativity is the Normativity of Grammar?

The overall goal of this article is to show that aesthetics plays a major role in a debate at the very center of philosophy. Drawing on the work of David Bell, the article spells out how Kant and Wittgenstein use reflective judgment, epitomized by a judgment of beauty, as a key in their respective solutions to the rule‐following problem they share. The more specific goal is to offer a Kantian account of semantic normativity as understood by Wittgenstein. The article argues that Wittgenstein's reason for describing language as a collection of language games is to allow for a perspective that shows those games as internally purposive without any extralinguistic purpose. This perspective also allows for that union of the general rule and its particular application in practice that the original paradox of rule‐following is wanting.

“…But Hume and Kant also thought of imagination constitutively as organising sensation into coherent perception (see Hume Treatise , Bk.I, Part IV; Kant Critique of Pure Reason , Analytic of Concepts, Chapter 1, Section 3). See also the discussion in Glock, . Wittgenstein's discussion, while keeping close the link between perception and imagination, downplays the role of imagery.…”
