Abstract

There are several kinds of philosophical naturalism and one of their leading ideas is that the right method in philosophy is not to theorize about things but to describe them as we find them in daily life. Wittgenstein’s later philosophy is evidently a naturalism inspired by this idea. However, that is an observation which leaves much unexplained. It is a simple key which unlocks the first door only to reveal others behind it that remain closed.
