This book uses examples of sets of four arrows and a grid of colored squares in a series of examples that may only share a (*) “family resemblance” to each other. (10[1])This book includes a scenario in which builder A and assistant B communicate with the terms “block” and “slab” as the first of a series of “language (-5[1])games.” This book disputes the logical (-5[1])atomism of its author’s earlier Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.
