This deceptively simple claim, the foundation of what became known as ordinary language philosophy, has animated thinkers across disciplinary bounds from metaphysics to ethics and more. In \u003ci\u003eThe Senses of Use\u003c\/i\u003e, Sandra Laugier embarks on a fresh journey through Wittgenstein's corpus that emphasizes the place of ordinary life and language in its thought. Through his \u003ci\u003eTractatus Logico-Philosophicus\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Investigations\u003c\/i\u003e, and rich posthumously published works, Laugier offers a compelling new look at Wittgenstein as a philosopher of mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSandra Laugier \u003c\/b\u003eis professor of philosophy at the University of Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne and a senior fellow of the Institut Universitaire de France.
