Philosophical Investigations (by Ludwig Wittgenstein)

Ludwig Wittgenstein’s "Philosophical Investigations" explores how language shapes our understanding of reality. He argues that language isn’t a mirror of the world but a tool used in various “language games,” meaning different contexts and practices give words different meanings. Wittgenstein emphasizes that philosophical confusion often arises from misusing language or expecting it to function as a fixed system. Instead, he advocates examining how words are actually used in everyday life, encouraging us to clarify our language to resolve misunderstandings and better grasp our experiences.
