In recent decades, the relationship between Ludwig Wittgenstein and literature has increasingly become a fertile and promising area of inquiry. Although Wittgenstein rarely addressed the topic of literature explicitly, his way of doing (and writing) philosophy can be taken to open up fresh and illuminating perspectives on questions concerning our engagement with literary and fictional works, as well as on the task of investigating literary language and, more broadly, literature as a linguistic and social phenomenon.
