The aim of the conference is to explore possibilities of philosophical dialogue\, between genuinely Wittgensteinian philosophising\, on the one hand\, and a variety of contemporary philosophical discourse\, on the other. In the pursue of this goal\, the conference-speakers will present comparative studies of different kind and focus\, so as to put into relation selected philosophical contributions by Wittgenstein with those of other theoretical approaches.
