 The general tenor of all the writings of this last period can thence be viewed as, on the one hand, a move away from the critical (some would say destructive) positions of the Investigations to a more positive perspective on the same problems that had been facing him since his early writings; on the other hand, this move does not necessarily bespeak a break from the later period but might be more properly viewed as its continuation, in a new light. In other words, the grand question of interpreting Wittgenstein, i.e., the question of continuities or breaks, remains at the forefront of understanding Wittgenstein.
