Title: Misleading Pictures, Temptations, and Metaphilosophy: Marty and Wittgenstein

Abstract: One of the most distinctive features of Wittgenstein's reflections on philosophy is his appeal to the temptations to which philosophers too often succumb, in particular the temptation to be misled by certain pictures or forms of language into misunderstandings of the way language works and so, too, into philosophy. Before the first World War, Anton Marty also argued at length that philosophers are often misled by pictures and forms of language. I survey and evaluate their descriptions of misleading pictures of modality, thinking, propositions, time, logic, their accounts of temptation and the different conceptions of philosophy they build on these descriptions and accounts. Marty wins.
