Explanation

Ludwig Wittgenstein, in his later work 'Philosophical Investigations,' argued that philosophical explanations must reach a bedrock where further explanation is impossible or meaningless. This reflects his view of language and philosophy's limits - that we reach a point where we can only show rather than say, marking the end of justificatory discourse.
