Abstract
Wittgenstein’s distinction between saying and showing has caused significant headache to his readers and resisted attempts to explain it. The goal of this essay is to articulate a new perspective on the saying-showing distinction, and by so doing help to solve the interpretational and philosophical problems relating to Wittgenstein’s distinction.
