“If a body constantly changed its weight, it would make
no sense || nonsense
to talk about ‘its
weight’”, “If the chair behaved in
this manner, we wouldn't talk about ‘a
chair’”.
“If the natural
colour only lasted for half an hour, it would lose its point to talk
about the ‘natural colour’ of an
object.”
Certain expressions have their
sense in a certain behaviour being the rule & not the
exception.
The
impor
tance of these remarks: that it often seems as
though grammar said something about objects, whereas it
treats of samples.
But isn't it in the nature of the world that there
is such an object as blue? Isn't it
in the nature … that there is a foot, a unit,
etc.?
