They only resemble Kripke's in so far as we both look to Wittgenstein. However, he adopts a sceptical view of rule-following whereas I adopt no view.

I'm sorry I failed to answer your second question. I do not know how I managed to miss it.

I take no view about the possibility of there being such a character since to do so would be to do some a priori science.

Well, I am not a supporter of any 'view', so there is nothing for me to reconcile.

And I'd like to see the texts in W's work that support this:

"That is, textual support can be found for two apparently conflicting exegetical claims:
Language is essentially social.

"It is conceptually (even if not psychologically) possible that a lifelong Crusoe (i.e., a human being isolated from birth) should employ some kind of linguistic system and follow rules in so doing."

What it is important to recall is that W was experimenting with various ideas, all the while challenging himself and others not to take a dogmatic view of language, or of anything else.

Many of those who comment on W either forget this or they ignore it for whatever reason.

Just checked out your music on that thread. I like it. Are you a Lustmord fan?

Fair enough.

Nice defense of a racist. It only took about 16 seconds to refute that.

Why did you change your name? I liked your old one .
