Abstract

Conway attempts in this book to explain what a form of life is in Wittgenstein's sense. She assigns such forms considerable importance. Her thesis is that Wittgenstein remained traditional in centrally seeking "foundations"; he is untraditional precisely in finding those "foundations" in forms of life, rather than in a world as it is anyway, or, as Kant did, in individual psychology or its possibility.
