Philosophical Grammar 134


134. Doesn’t grammar put the primary colors together because there is a kind of similarity between them? Or colours, anyway, in contrast to shapes or notes.

The rules of grammar cannot be justified by shewing that their application makes a representation agree with reality.

The analogy between grammar and games.



grammar is a proposal – to account for – to explain – if you will – the logic of usage –

but as with any proposal – open to question – to interpretation

reality is what is proposed –

any proposal puts forward a reality –

justification is rhetoric

grammar is a proposal – a game is proposal
