Write a note on the ‘Family Resemblance” in Wittgenstein’s philosophy.

Family resemblance as a relation occurs in Ludwig Wittgenstein’s treatment of language in Philosophical Investigations.

With the family resemblance explanation, Wittgenstein attacks conventional views on how words can have meaning. On the one hand, it attacks the traditional view that words acquire meaning from the thoughts of the person who utters them. On the other, it challenges Wittgenstein’s own concept from his earlier Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, that words get their meaning by standing for objects in reality.

Instead, Wittgenstein says that some words do not have a single essence that encompasses their definition. He uses the example of the word ‘game’. Although we may think of the term as having a definite meaning, Wittgenstein points out counterexamples to this idea. No single thing _________ ____ ___ ___ _________ _________ __________ ____.
