 A symposium discussing Robert Vinten's book Wittgenstein and the Social Sciences (Anthem Press, 2020) has been published in the journal Cosmos + Taxis. The symposium was edited by Richard Eldridge and contains contributions from Paul Roth, Daniel Little, Rupert Read, Rafael Azize, and Richard Raatzsch - as well as a response from Robert Vinten. There are some great discussions of Wittgenstein's relevance to the social sciences as well as his relevance to social and political philosophy. Rafael Azize compares Wittgenstein's philosophy to art and Richard Raatzsch compares Wittgenstein to Brecht. All of the papers can be found, Open Access, here
