To study the tradition and the aftermath of post-Kantian Idealism generally, and specifically, to write a short book on Heidegger's Being and Time, with special emphasis on its affinities with Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations. This study represents an effort to bring back into fruitful relationship German and English traditions of philosophy, or rather to show that there is no longer any necessity in holding them apart.
