"Philosophical investigations: conceptual investigations. The essential
thing about metaphysics: it obliterates the distinction between factual
and conceptual investigations" L.Wittgenstein.
A Companion to Wittgenstein's "Philosophical Investigations",
G.Hallett, 1977, p 61.

MYTHOLOGY:
?
"The law always executes him." - What is the use of such a form of
expression ? - In the first instance, this proposition only says
that such-and-such is to be found in the law, and human beings
sometimes do not go by law. Then, however, it does give us a picture
of a single inexorable judge, and many lax judges. That is why it
serves to express respect for the law." RMF 35.
a mythological description: suggesting not merely non-existent
but non-intelligible entities, as did Freud's "powerful mythology"
LC 51-52;BB 23. "So it really....says nothing at all, but gives
us a picture" PI352. "This is how it strikes me" PI 219.
