A holistic introduction to Wittgenstein’s philosophy that approaches him as a philosopher of ordinary life.One of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein’s most consequential claims was that the meaning of the word, its sense, is its use in language. This deceptively simple claim, the foundation of what became known as ordinary language philosophy, has animated thinkers across disciplinary bounds from metaphysics to ethics and more. In The Senses of Use, Sandra Laugier embarks on a fresh journey through Wittgenstein’s corpus that emphasizes the place of ordinary life and language in its thought. Through his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, Philosophical Investigations, and rich posthumously published works, Laugier offers a compelling new look at Wittgenstein as a philosopher of mind.

“In this elegant and thoughtfully composed book, Laugier provides a route to the philosophy of Wittgenstein that should be valuable for new and veteran readers alike. Laugier centers ‘use’ or our traffic with words and, without distracting technicalities, insightfully traces central lines of Wittgenstein’s thought. She brings in an appealingly broad set of references to contemporary philosophy, including, notably, the French reception of Wittgenstein.”
