Philosophical problems. 

I can't answer that. W worked on that for years, up to his death. He
left an unfinished manuscript published posthumously as _Philosophical
Investigations_.

W's philosphy takes a lot of study and requires background in the
analytic movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Russell
thought W was a genius. In fact, W was awarded a professorship based
on his sole publication - Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus - written in
the trenches during WW I.
