The key to the solution of philosophical
puzzle is the therapeutic process to
examine and describe the language in use.
Words are like tools, and the tools serve
different functions and linguistic
expressions serve several functions.
Although some prepositions are used to
represent facts, others are used to sort,
question, pray, thanking, cursing, and so on.
This recognition of the plurality and linguistic
flexibility led to Wittgenstein's concept of
language game and conclude that different
people interpret language games.
