73. Isn’t it on the strength of a particular property, the property of
being a rule, that we speak of the rules of the game. – We use the word “rule”
in contrast to “word” “projection”, and some other words.
‘Isn’t it on the strength of the property of being a rule that we speak
of the rules of the game’?
this is just to say – that a rule is a rule –
this – ‘the property of being a rule’ – is irrelevant rhetoric
the point being – ‘rule’ – is not elucidated or advanced in any way by
saying it is a rule –
‘the property of being a rule’ – is a sham explanation of ‘rule’ –
and further I think it is an attempt to give ‘rule’ – a foundation – beyond question
yes – we may use the word ‘rule’ – instead of other terms – if we believe ‘rule’ is more useful than other
terms
