Sean Wilson is associate professor at Wright State University and is the author of The Flexible Constitution.

For years Wittgensteinian philosophers have wanted to see a movement away from exegesis toward the application of Wittgenstein’s way of dealing with problems to new areas. Wilson’s book promises to make a contribution to this effort. The book is blazing a trail of its own, which is its great strength. To the extent that Wilson has not only been a pioneer but also got Wittgenstein right, this is an excellent achievement.
