One section of this book imagines a man who writes "S" in his diary whenever he experiences a certain sensation, while another section posits a boy who writes "1004" after being told to "add 2" to 1000. Beginning with a quote from Augustine's Confessions, this work argues that philosophy should adopt a "therapeutic" role, since "Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language," and this work also shows that games do not have a single (*) rigid definition, but a network of similarities that give them a common name. This text posits the theory of "family resemblances" and examines a number of "language-games," including the "beetle-in-a-box," which argues against the possibility of a private language. For 10 points, name this work by Ludwig Wittgenstein, which rejects many of the conclusions of Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.
