In this video, Professor Thorsby continues his overview of Wittgenstein's "Philosophical Investigations". In this selection, Wittgenstein offers a further elucidation language-games and how their apply to the definitions of names. Using rules and 'rule following' as a model for what definitions do, Wittgenstein offers a critique of philosophy based upon the method of description. Wittgenstein sees philosophy, along these lines, as a type of therapy. In these selections, Wittgenstein offers an extraordinary discussion that touches upon the nature of philosophy itself.
