The book is exceptional because it applies the notion of foms of
life to the context of human action. It provides answers to the
following questions: Why do we act in a specific way? Why do we
make particular decisions? Does one's form of life and language
games determine our actions and decisions? Wittgenstein proposes a
holistic method which enables us to give coherent answers to these
questions. To answer the question of the contents of actions and
decisions we have to explain how we have institutionalized these
actions or decisions. To this aim we shall reveal the frame within
which language games are introduced and have come to function as
practice and custom. The scheme of order underlying the language
games is illustrated. Human actions and decisions follow particular
rules. By highlighting the underlying scheme of order we may gain a
perspicuous view of these rules. The aim of this book is to show
that actions and decisions generate rational choice. This choice is
explained by demonstrating the particular functions of the language
games involved.
