Horwich embraces Wittgenstein’s view and, mainly implicitly, relocates some of its point in a minimalistic framework, working especially on the first part of the Philosophical Investigations. My discussion of Wittgenstein’s Metaphilosophy concentrates on meaning as use – which according to Horwich inspires Wittgenstein’s view of philosophy –, on metaphilosophy itself and the final chapter on consciousness and the so-called private language argument. The Tractatus logico-philosophicus, at 4.111 reads: “The word ‘philosophy’ must mean something whose place is above or below the natural sciences, not beside them.” I am inclined to think that this ‘above’ more appropriately renders Wittgenstein view of philosophy than ‘metaphilosophy’, which if there is, is one particular way of continuing to do philosophy.

The paper discusses Annalisa Coliva's book on Moore and Wittgenstein. I devote more attention to Moore than to Wittgenstein. Coliva is sympatethic with Moore, but much more positive about Wittgenstein, I am more sympathetic with Moore's views instead and believe that they are rarely fully grasped.
