But methinks that there has been a tradition of using Wittgenstein’s works to defend ideas that were not part of the things he meant. I have heard linguists, who tried to attack Government and Binding, making all sorts of claims by reference to Wittgenstein’s Philosophy of Language. But very few had the courage to write things attributing their claims to him.

Those, who have heard of Wittgenstein through these talks, might have formed wrong ideas about his work. That is why he is a Philosopher to be rediscovered.

PS: I have posted a link to this article in my blog, right after a link to a paper by Nakanishi.
