Malcolm Budd tackles a relatively little-explored area of Wittgenstein's thought, which played an important part in his later writings, from "Philosophical Investigations" onwards. He gives an account of Wittgenstein's conception of the philosophy of psychology, and explains the way in which Wittgenstein thought that excesses of dualism and behaviourism could be avoided without recourse to any currently fashionable form of materialism. He describes Wittgenstein's investigation of a number of central topics, such as the nature of rule-following, "private language" and the language of sensations, the exercise of the imagination in visualization and the nature of the emotions.
