Kripke’s Wittgenstein famously states that rules *can’t* be followed, ‘all’ there is to following a rule is the shared consensus of groups of people. Therefore, when ‘following’ a rule I *never* actually follow a rule but rather *choose* to observe a common social convention.<br><br>I’m familiar with criticisms of Kripke’s Wittgenstein from:<br><br>1. Korsgaard on the role of interpretation in understanding rules<br><br>2. Diamond *the realistic spirit* and *inheriting wittgenstein* on whether Kripke accurately interprets Wittgenstein and on Kripke forcing a dichotomy of private language and shared consensus when that dichotomy is not possible since all language is shared<br><br>3.
