Abstract

This article introduces a special issue of Philosophical Investigations focused on Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics and its connection to the philosophy of mathematical practice (PMP). The author acknowledges that while Wittgenstein is a highly influential philosopher, his work in the philosophy of mathematics is often overshadowed by his other writings. The special issue includes nine articles that cover various topics related to Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics and PMP. The articles explore Wittgenstein's practice-based approach to meaning, his views on set theory, his struggles with arithmetic and higher mathematics, and his critique of Cantorian set theory. The volume aims to deepen our understanding of mathematical practice, contribute to the discourse on Wittgenstein's philosophy of mathematics, and introduce Wittgensteinian ideas to the wider community of philosophers of mathematical practice.
