Annotation: Saul Kripke's Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language has attracted much criticism and few friends. Yet it is one of the books that most students of philosophy have to read at some point in their education. Enormously influential, it has given rise to debates that strike at the very heart of contemporary philosophy of mind and language.

Publisher Description:
Martin Kusch defends Saul Kripke's account against the numerous weighty objections that have been put forward over the years and argues that none of them is decisive. He shows that many critiques are based on misunderstandings of Kripke's reasoning and that many attacks can be blocked by refining and developing Kripke's position.
