In Different Voices: Pitkin and Cavell on Wittgenstein's Political Relevance

Wittgenstein's work has been mobilized in recent decades to adress questions of justice and politics, and in this respect Hanna Pitkin's 1972 book Wittgenstein and Justice (W&J) was indeed pioneering, the first to explore explicitly the political potential of reading Wittgenstein. What is striking today is how W&J remains one of the most illuminating and deep readings of Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations.
