So this makes me wonder, why would anyone bother to write about Marcuse's critique of Wittgenstein. Don't tell me our armchair radical academics are once more so enamored of facile concepts like "repressive tolerance" that Marcuse is again being taken seriously! The Philosophical Investigations is crucial is you want to think seriously about how language works, and to use it. Marcuse on the other hand offers what Orwell so incisively called a "smelly little ideology".
