Question

In book philosophical investigations book paragraphs 378 what does this mean "Before I judge that two images which I have are the same, I must recognize them as the same?

Answer 1

Solution -

Here the author is trying to stress upon the universal definition of 'same'. The aspect that the author is touching upon is that every situation or entity or subject has a different perspective attached but if one wishes to dismiss it as being same then one needs to realize that they are same as in the eye of others as well.

The author says that validation of expressing something as same is necessary and the others provide for that validation. The author is hinting upon an old concept of things being similar and same. The focus on the word same is placed to challenge the judgement of the individual.
