LATER WITTGENSTEIN ON THE INVENTION OF GAMES
ABSTRACT. Wittgenstein in his later posthumous writings investigates the meanings of names as a practical activity of rule-governed language game playing. Rules for language games, as for all games in Wittgenstein’s frequent analogies, are determined in turn by the “point” and “purpose” of the games..
EXTERNALISTIC DEROGATION

I am specifically interested in how previous research investigated the conceptualization and assessment of workaholism, negative consequences that can arise from workaholism, and the affective experiences of workaholics.

ABSTRACT. The objective of this paper is to emphasize Husserl’s notion of the lifeworld, the connection between the transcendental ego and the lifeworld, and lifeworld as exemplified by a culturally conveyed and linguistically constructed stock of explanatory models.
