(1996) Ludwig Wittgenstein, Dordrecht, Springer.
A year ago, we argued that in the later Wittgenstein one has to distinguish primary from secondary language-games when he discusses our language of mental experiences.1 Primary language games establish the basic links between language and our experiences; secondary ones build on them and at the same time modify them. It is only by means of secondary language-games that we bring such notions as knowledge, certainty, evidence, and justification to bear on our talk about mental experiences, for instance sensations.
