Was Wittgenstein a Rortian ironist?

(Interesting that Wittgenstein is experiencing a revival in NYTimes.com's The Stone.)

Could Wittgenstein be read as a Rortian ironist who thinks a philosopher should, as needed, make new "vocabularies" — codes (for either description or action) — but also thinks it wouldn't be "final"? Maybe so.


from The Stone:
