The authors style is lucid. She is patient, clear and appropriately repetitious Her writing will be available to undergraduates and hopefully recommended to all readers of Wittgenstein The book is well researchedand will help others to locate themselves more easily among different approaches to Wittgenstein today.
(Judith Geneva, Colorado College)
This book is an original and insightful contribution to the study of the Investigations. It provides a distinctive and illuminating approach to Wittgensteins later philosophy, which places the emphasis, not on the results it is intended to achieve, but on the techniques which constitute Wittgensteins philosophical method.
(Marie McGinn, University of York)
Throughout his later philosophy, Ludwig Wittgenstein focused on a method called grammatical investigation. Grammatical investigation describes the use of our words for the purpose of philosophical clarification. Beth Savickey presents Wittgensteins art of investigation through a detailed examination of his philosophical aims and practices.
Beth Savickeys book is one of the first to focus on and provide an original and detailed analysis of Wittgensteins grammatical investigations. She offers us new insight into the historical context and influences on his method, which will help Wittgenstein students and scholars alike to understand the intricacies and depth of his work.
Beth Savickey is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Long Island University.

To my parents Walter and Sharon Savickey who, in their wisdom and generosity, teach me, inspire me and give me courage
my sisters Joan and Tanya who fill my world with laughter and share with me the wonders of this journey
my friends in Winnipeg who, in their musings and their music, are as gifted as they are giving
my teachers from elementary school through university who demonstrated by example that teaching and learning could be both passionate and compassionate
students at the University of Winnipeg (Canada) and the University of York (England) who confirmed for me the power and efficacy of Wittgensteins methods in the classroom and whose intelligence and enthusiasm reminded me daily of the communal and reciprocal nature of teaching
Christine Mason, Bob Haverluck and Mark Rowe for philosophical occasions and conversations, Jacqueline Hall, Stephanie Delaney, Lucy Tattershall, Richard Grieve, Rajesh Kishan, and Dave Court for friendship and food
my colleagues at Long Island University for their generous welcome, their commitment to the present, and their vision for the future
and Dr Marie McGinn who guided this work with intellectual insight and trust and without whom it would not, and could not, have been written
May you all recognize your voices in my work and the thanks in these and all my words
Greetings from New York, January 1998
Between the time a gift comes to us and the time we pass it along, we suffer gratitude. Moreover, with gifts that are agents of change, it is only when the gift has worked in us, only when we have come up to its level, as it were, that we can give it away again. Passing the gift along is the act of gratitude that finishes the labor.
(Lewis Hyde, The Gift)

Throughout his later philosophy Wittgenstein claims to be teaching a method of grammatical investigation. Grammatical investigation describes the use of our words for the purpose of philosophical clarification. As a method it is both philosophical and pedagogical. Wittgenstein once remarked to the effect that it did not matter whether his results were true or not, what mattered was that a method had been found, and he describes the Investigations as a textbook: a textbook, however, not in that it provides knowledge (Wissen), but rather in that it stimulates thinking (Denken). As he anticipated, the terms of our analysis have changed, but the form of our philosophical investigation has not (AWL 32). His own words continue to best describe the situation:
If I had to say what is the main mistake made by philosophers of this present generation I would say that it is when language is looked at what is looked at is a form of words and not the use made of the form of words.
(LC2)
Not only did philosophers of Wittgensteins generation look at a form of words (rather than their use) in the analysis of language, but contemporary philosophers continue to look at the form and not the use made of Wittgensteins own words. His philosophical method is the use made of his form of words.
The following study investigates Wittgensteins method of grammatical investigation through a detailed examination of his philosophical aims and practices. It begins by placing his method within a philosophical and pedagogical context. When placed within an Anglo-American or analytic tradition this method appears to be without precedent. However, Wittgensteins philosophical practices were influenced by the numerous and diverse traditions within which he lived. Placing him within an Austrian cultural and pedagogical tradition complements and enhances the analytic tradition with which he is generally identified. The specific aims and techniques of his investigation become clear when placed within an Austrian cultural tradition (with its emphasis on language) and within an innovative educational movement (with its emphasis on activities and the rooting of education in the environment). Wittgenstein himself places his writings within this Austrian context.
