The structure of the philosophical puzzle (Wittgenstein’s lectures on the foundations of mathematics)

The article deals with the structure of a philosophical puzzle (as it was described in Wittgenstein’s works). A puzzle arises because of a mixture of different ways of using some certain expressions. Or because of an attempt to impose rules of one language game on some expression within another language game. The article gives examples of such puzzles. The main attention is paid to puzzles from the field of philosophy of mathematics as they are considered by Wittgenstein in his Cambridge lectures on the foundations of mathematics.
