Doesn't the analogy of language with a game throw
some || any light here?
For we can easily imagine
that people might
amuse || people amusing themselves
in a
field || on a lawn || common field by playing with a ball in
this way: beginning || such a
way that they begin various
existing games
(with their rules) || existing
games,
leaving a number of them unfinished
¤ || not finishing some of them,
in between
whiles throwing the ball
at random in the air || up at
random,
59
chasing
and hitting
one
another || each other in fun with the ball
,
throwing it at one another etc..–
And now
someone says that || if someone
says: during the whole || someone comes along and says:
all the time
the || these
people are playing a ball game and
conform to a
definite rule with every
throw. || therefore at every point act
according to definite rules. And isn't there also the case in which we play and
“make up the rules as we go
along
”?
And also that in which we alter them
“as we go
along
”.
