The common behaviour of mankind
Reply to Alfredo Gaete
From a Darwinist perspective, the existence of common behaviour in every linguistic community is rather trivial. Of course there are universal features shared by human kind, and it's to be biology or anthropology that we should refer when trying to provide explanations. Then why is Wittgenstein's view on this issue so provocative?
