Question

This book notes that a particular mental image of a cube does not force a method of projection upon us, but only suggests one. This book responds to a question posed about the meaning of the word “five” by instead shifting the focus to its use by a shopkeeper. This book uses examples of sets of four (15[1])arrows and a grid of colored squares in a series of examples that may (15[1])only share a (*) “family resemblance” to each other. (-5[1])This book includes a scenario in which builder A (-5[1])and assistant B communicate with the terms “block” and “slab” (10[1])as the first of a series of (10[1])“language games.” This book disputes the logical atomism of its author’s earlier Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. For 10 points, name this seminal text in the philosophy of language by Ludwig Wittgenstein. ■END■ (10[1])
