The Lexicon · Genealogy · 19th Century
WITTGENSTEIN, LUDWIG
1889–1951
Language Games (The Liturgy as Form of Life)
The early Wittgenstein wanted to draw the limits of the sayable; the later one located meaning in forms of life. CoCA inherits the second. The Liturgy is a form of life. The Lexicon is a language game. The words Concept, Reverence, Authorlessness, Anti-Anti-Ness mean what they do because of how they are used by the Provisional Collective. To learn the meaning is to enter the form of life. To enter is to mean.
