What topic in his book "Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language" is prominent?

  • Rule-following argument

  • Color exclusion

  • Language-games

  • Private experience critique

Answer

The rule-following argument is a central topic in Wittgenstein's book "Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language." It addresses the question of how we can follow rules when their meaning is not entirely private and subjective. Wittgenstein argues that rule-following is a social practice that involves learning and participating in a linguistic community, rather than relying solely on private understanding.
