Name the author of 'Philosophical Investigations' :

  • A.Early Wittgentein
  • B.Russell
  • C.Frege
  • D.Later Wittgenstein

Answer: D

Philosophical Investigations was written by the later Wittgenstein.

Published posthumously in 1953, it sets out Wittgenstein's later philosophy: meaning as use, language-games, family resemblance, rule-following and the private language argument. It is a criticism of his own earlier picture theory.

The early Wittgenstein wrote the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1921). Russell and Frege wrote neither book.
