> In his recent book, Wittgenstein and  Judaism, Ranjit Chatterjee argues 
that we
> read Wittgenstein's works  autobiographically for how the writer reveals and
> conceals his own  Judaism and his affinities with Jewish thought.  Potential
> papers  might engage with different parts of this proposition.  How do
>  Wittgenstein's attempts to conceal himself personally relate to his  
theories
> of language as a whole?  How might his approach to  language relate to 
Jewish
> views of language?  How might these  questions be further elucidated in
> connection with other writers who  comment on Jewish understandings of
> language, such as Martin Buber,  Jacques Derrida and Emmanuel Levinas?
