Wittgenstein and the concept of language. Some minor objections
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
The article expounds and critically considers Wittgenstein’s thought, expressed in the Philosophical Investigations, that, the same way that there is not a common feature in virtue of which we say that an activity is a game, there is not a characteristic feature of language or linguistic behaviour. The dangers of this analogy, pointed already by Rush Rhees, are here shown in a different light, by making some considerations on what is idiosyncratic to certain psychological concepts.
