Yes, agreed. But surely Wittgenstein's argument is accepted
more widely than only in postmodern circles?

I mean, if Jeff is trying to concentrate on some
'genuinely' postmodern ideas then I'd wonder whether this
anti-private language argument by Ludwig W is central for
his work.

Instead I would ask, if postmodern interpretation of Lacan
as anti-identity argument could be of any use in this
context?
