The beetle in the hexagon, i.e. the bug in the box, is a reference to {{#ifexpr:{{CURRENTYEAR}}<2022|paragraph 293 of the ''Philosophical Investigations''|[[Philosophische Untersuchungen#293|paragraph 293 of the ''Philosophical Investigations'']]}}, where Wittgenstein uses a vivid example to discuss the grammar of the expression of experiences: | |||
:''Let's suppose every person owned a box containing something we call a "beetle". No one can ever look inside someone else's box; and everyone says that they know what a beetle is based only on the sight of ''their own'' beetle.—Here it could well be that each and every person has something different in their box. One could even imagine that such a thing changes constantly.—But what if the word "beetle" did have a use among these people?—Then this use would not be that of signifying a thing. The thing in the box does not belong to the language game at all [...].'' | |||

Please, let us know. Altough we put the greatest attention into our transcriptions and translations, it is almost unavoidable for some mistakes to survive, and we count on readers to point them out to us. Please write to contact{{@}}wittgensteinproject.org: just make sure you clearly indicate what is wrong in which text in which language. If you are not comfortable writing in English, feel free to use Italian, German, French, Spanish, Greek or Russian: someone will understand and we will do our best to answer in the same language. | |||
