Abstract: Against the grain of Analytic philosophy’s general avoidance of the fact or phenomenon of reading, and starting out with Wittgenstein’s compact investigation into “the part the word [‘reading’] plays in our life, therewith the language-game in which we employ it”, in this essay I explore the nature of reading, and thereby initiate what is in effect a new philosophical sub-discipline: the philosophy of reading.
