The Philosopher Who Solved Life's Problems Through LANGUAGE?| Philosophy of Language

I was just thinking about this the other day : (categories of description) a grapefruit is similar to the sun in color/shape or similar to a pineapple in edible/fruit. so the context of each category dictates what attributes of the object we focus on and correlate to another object or concept. I was debating a friend on whether "consciousness" exists or if the buddhist skandhas is correct and was brainstorming on a tangent for relativism and meaning. (not existential meaning/purpose, but meaning as denotation)

02:27 Ludwig Wittgenstein’s attempt to devise a universal theory of language is ambitious and fascinating. However, the idea of a theory that applies to all linguistic problems might be seen as overly idealistic and impractical. Language is not merely a logical system; it is deeply shaped by culture, emotions, and social contexts. In Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, his picture theory of language, while revolutionary, is limited when addressing more complex forms of expression such as metaphors, emotions, or implicit meanings. The world of language seems far richer than merely being "represented" by logical facts
