Kripke talks about one of the main themes in Wittgenstein's "Investigations" project:

...the central questions he wishes to ask about the use of language. Do not look for 'entities' and 'facts' corresponding to numerical assertions, but look at the circumstances under which utterances involving numerals are made, and the utility of making them under these circumstances.

-- Saul Kripke, "Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language. (1984).
