Yes and no. As to why, you not only need a very fine distinction of early and latter Wittgenstein, which are worlds apart, but also a fine investigation of either periods. For the most part, though, early Wittgenstein's "picture" theory was adopted by analytic philosophers (like the logical positivists) and latter Wittgenstein's "family resemblance" theory appealed more to continental philosophers (such as Lyotard and others). Really, though, Witty's influence is subtle yet pervasive. Expect him anything the limits of language is considered. Any time a philosophy twat tells you what you can or cannot say, there haunts Ludwig.
