Abstract
This essay discusses the difficulty of rejecting metaphysics from the point of view of Wittgenstein’s philosophy. I address this issue first in relation to the Tractatus and Wittgenstein’s later account of his early failure and the continuity and discontinuity of his philosophy, and finally in light of what Wittgenstein says about the difficulty of rejecting metaphysics in his later philosophy. I conclude with a discussion of how the truth of grammatical remarks differs from the truth of empirical and metaphysical theses.
