The correct answer is the theory of family resemblance.

Wittgenstein was an Austrian-English philosopher who lectured at Cambridge University in the 1930s and 1940s. Wittgenstein was critical of the definition approach, and instead proposed the theory of family resemblance. According to the theory of family resemblance, words are not connected to other words and ideas by just one key feature, but rather through a various common features. Just like family members have resemblances and are similar to each other not through one trait, but through many traits, so are words.

Philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein argued against the definition approach by proposing a theory of family resemblance. This philosophy and language theory says words are loosely defined by a combination of common, or related, features rather than a rigorous single feature.
Wittgenstein states that some words do not have a single essence that encompasses their definition.

What is the Iliad about?

saul85 [17]

Answer:

Iliad is about revenge, war and forgiveness.

Explanation:

Iliad is a poem that is written by a Greek poet, Homer. The revenge is shown in many parts, along with the part where Achilles stops to fight in order to get revenge against Agamemnon. Achilles vowed that he will get revenge for the death of his best friend and brother, and he fought against his killer, Hector. Revenge is almost always accompanied by forgiveness. Eventually, Achilles got his revenge for his brother's death but it doesn't bring him peace and comfort. He sacrificed to the Gods the body of Hector and even after his death, he couldn't reach the inner peace he expected he would get and erase the pain that he felt. Hector's father, King Priam came to him and begged him for his dead son's body. At the end, Achilles felt sympathy because it was his fault that someone lost a son. When he gave Hector's body back, it brought him a piece of comfort. Through the whole book, Achilles was showing no mercy against anyone and he was removing anybody that got in his way. As it always happen, in the end, things turned around unexpectedly. He found peace within his enemy's forgiveness. This book is an important historical gem and every person can learn something from it. It doesn't matte how bitter, angry, disappointed we get, we never know where we will find our closure, peace and forgiveness.
