The Wittgensteinian philosopher Peter Winch discussed the paradox in "The Idea of a Social Science and its Relation to Philosophy" (1958), where he argued that the paradox showed that "the actual process of drawing an inference, which is after all at the heart of logic, is something which cannot be represented as a logical formula ... Learning to infer is not just a matter of being taught about explicit logical relations between propositions; it is learning "to do" something" (p. 57). Winch goes on to suggest that the moral of the dialogue is a particular case of a general lesson, to the effect that the proper "application" of rules governing a form of human activity cannot itself be summed up with a set of "further" rules, and so that "a form of human activity can never be summed up in a set of explicit precepts" (p. 53).
