Summary
The Introduction offers a brief overview of why Wittgenstein has come to matter to contemporary literary studies and philosophical work on literature. In addition to explaining what literary Wittgensteinianism is, it provides a point of entry into the chapters of this volume by explaining the basic difference between the early and late Wittgenstein and how each has opened up novel ways of thinking about the relationship between philosophy and literature.
