language games Wittgensteinâs conception of *language use as *game-like. Different uses of language (e.g. apologies or requests) have different sets of rules, which do not exist outside of the social practices which create them. Thus *meaning emerges from the interplay of language and the named phenomena according to the rules applicable in certain *contexts. This conceptualization replaced the picture theory of language that characterized Wittgensteinâs earlier philosophy (see also truth). Rather than *depicting a pre-existing *reality which is at first sketched out and later refined over time, language acts like the rules of a game within which its playersâ reality is constantly being redefined and shaped. For example, in the Middle Ages what would have been identified as âdemonic possessionâ is in the modern era defined as âmental illnessâ: the latter does not represent a more faithful picture of an underlying reality, but rather the applications of a different language gameâa different set of rules and conditions under which a phenomenon can be understood.
