Who this is

“He is the only philosopher in this book who created two great philosophies — and the second was an attack on the first.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 208

The big idea, in the book's words:

“Philosophy's deepest problems are not mysteries about the world but knots in our language — and the way out is to look, with total honesty, at how words actually work.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 208
