Excellent- More about Wittgenstein and Society: Essays in Conceptual Puzzlement: Essays in Conceptual Puzzlement
Gavin Kitching's collection of essays argues that the pursuit of a science of society is misconceived and impossible, but that forming and expressing well-informed opinions on social and political matters is one of the most important activities in which human beings can engage.

Gavin Kitching's 2003 collection of essays challenges the notion of a science of society, arguing that it is misconceived and impossible. In the early essays, Kitching identifies himself as a social scientist seeking a philosophical basis for the science. However, by the later essays, he has become convinced that the pursuit of such a basis is a chimera and that the forming and expression of well-informed opinions on social and political matters requires one to abandon any pretence of being a scientist. Kitching concludes with a different understanding of Wittgenstein's philosophy, showing him to be one of the most revolutionary and liberating thinkers of all time.
