L. Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations great impact on analytic philosophy of language because of both its intriguing writing and its flagrant challenge of the dominant representationalist tradition inspired many philosophers to embrace its alternative conception of language and philosophy. R. Brandom has recently attempted to construct a theory of meaning which pretends to honour such views. In this paper I review Wittgenstein's regress-of-rules argument and consider two rival and very influential readings of it: McDowell's quietism and Kripke's scepticism in order to question whether Brandom has managed to provide an interesting theory while remaining loyal to the wittgenstenian legacy.
