Logic and the philosophy of language Book

This is a thorough but convoluted argument against Wittgenstein (both early and late periods) and "Wittgensteinianism," Gellner's broadly generalized category, it seems, for everyone ever to agree, in part or wholly, with Wittgenstein. Gellner makes all his points in the first hundred pages, then goes on for another two hundred, becoming increasingly belligerent. Gilbert Ryle was right to call him abusive, and though Gellner often makes great points, the whole project suffers from extreme insensitivity and cockiness. With that said, Wittgenstein himself can be quite an agitation, and Gellner's final word on him captures my frustration with the Tractatus: "Philosophy is explicitness... That which one would insinuate, thereof one must speak."
