Illustrating Wittgensteinian influence on and relevance to an interdisciplinary psychology begins with a focus collective phenomena including differences between collectives and contemporary research on collective emotions. The importance of surroundings and context for social psychology are detailed through exploration of creativity, madness, meaning and rule-breaking.
