ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights certain important aspects which seem important to emphasize in connection with the term in order to begin to understand Ludwig Wittgenstein's conception concerning the internal relation between language, nature and philosophy. Just as no uniform building plan forms the basis of an old town, so neither does our primary language-games erected on the outline of a uniform logic or grammar. The problem here is that a 'private linguist' would have no way of knowing if he or she was using a privately defined term correctly or not on a subsequent occasion. It is important to understand the distinction between a primary rule-like language-game vs. the rule-based practice of an artificial language-game. In the phenomenological vocabulary of Husserl we can say that a language exhibiting a form of life amounts to a genuine Life-World. To begin with, one can say that ostensive gestures are secondary as far as ordinary language is concerned.
