"(Over)Interpreting Wittgenstein will be read by philosophers investigating 
Wittgenstein and by scholars, interpreters, students, and specialists, in both 
analytic and continental philosophy. It will intrigue readers interested in 
issues of interpretation and cultural studies. This book tells the story - as 
yet untold - of Wittgenstein interpretation during the past eighty years. It 
provides different interpretations, chronologies, developments, and 
controversies. It aims to discover the (socio-cultural rather than 
psychological) motives and motivations behind the philosophical community's 
project of interpreting Wittgenstein. As a cultural history of ideas, it traces 
the parallelism between Wittgenstein interpretation and the move from 
metaphysics, to language, to postmodernism effected in the twentieth century."
