Ossie Hanfling explains Wittgenstein's Picture Theory of Meaning and the Ostensive Theory of Meaning, and shows why he thinks that Wittgenstein rejected them, eventually concluding that there is no... simple answer to the problems of how words acquire meaning. Some account of the work of the Vienna Circle, and the basic tenets of Logical Positivism is also given.
