%X The problem of the epistemological status of logic lies at the centre of Wittgenstein¡¯s philosophical concern with logic. There are two known solutions to this problem: apriorism and aposteriorism. Apriorism represents our logical operations as expressions of purely a priori relations between elements of a certain kind. There is an opposition to this solution, denying that our logical operations can be understood as the expressions of purely a priori relations between the elements. It appears that one solution or the other must be true. It is believed by scholars that the early Wittgenstein¡¯s view of the epistemological status of logic is a version of apriorism. The aim of the present paper is to provide an adequate reconstruction of the later Wittgenstein¡¯s solution to this philosophical problem. The main question behind this paper is: Providing that there is a disagreement between the two Wittgenstein¡¯s views of the epistemological status of logic, must the later position be an example of aposteriorism? The suggested answer is: No. The later Wittgenstein¡¯s position questions the conceptual framework of this whole philosophical discussion.
