A preface to the section "A Review of Chomskys Criticism of Kripkes Wittgenstein

The forthcoming sequence of six articles is kind of an experiment. In our recent issues we published single articles only or sets of articles by different authors dealing with the same topic. As WITTGENSTEIN STUDIES are published two times a year only, this doesn't allow to document an immediate feedback from other readers. This seems to be an unsatisfactory situation as we believe engaged(?) discussions to be an essential part of the evolution of both philosophic positions and ideas too. The opportunity to express article related positions (containing both agreement and disagreement) using the technique of writing letters to the editor might help a bit here but won't solve the whole problem. Reactions like this will never look like a real discussion to the reader, as the break between thesis and antithesis takes much to long. In that case article and letter seem to be single contributions instead, although their contents might contain a strong connection.
