The difference is between culture being a background of understanding (not of “explaining,” but of “interpreting”) of a certain particular practice, and culture being a “rough ground,” i.e. being present, existent, living in its own process in any particular practice as it is de facto practiced. An additional question should be raised as well, namely—what is the relation between grammar and naturalism? On an occasion such as this it can be mentioned that naturalism in Wittgenstein’s use of the word (like in “natural history,” or like in “natural science”) is connected primarily with nature, which seems to be in the middle (like a third way) between extremes;

nature (natura) as essence (essentia) on one side (which is manifested in grammar),

and nature as natural science (scientia) on the other (which should not be of our interest as philosophers, at least as the prime subject matter here, not because we should dislike science, rather because we do not have much use of it in grammatical investigations).
