How helpful is Wittgenstein’s concept of ‘family resemblance’ in terms of understanding language?

How could the ‘beetle in a box’ idea be applied to question of cognitive vs non-cognitive and to ideas about God?

Is this a problem?

Choose a genre:
- Science Fiction (Star Wars)
- Fantasy (Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings)
- Romance
- Disney

Read the associated articles and think about:
- Whether these films encourage a dualist way of looking at the world in terms of good/evil, light/dark, male/female etc.
- Whether they promote an essentialist view of human nature (that we have an innate purpose/destiny which determines our life)
- Whether you think this is a problem/how this might influence society
- Whether there are any examples of film within the genre which deviate from the norm - any examples of characters who decide their own purpose? ]]> 2020-05-04 14:17:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sambrown2161992/Philosophy2/wish/549423991 sambrown2161992 https://padlet.com/sambrown2161992/Philosophy2/wish/549487112 2020-05-04 14:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sambrown2161992/Philosophy2/wish/549487112 sambrown2161992 https://padlet.com/sambrown2161992/Philosophy2/wish/551759849 2020-05-05 11:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/sambrown2161992/Philosophy2/wish/551759849 sambrown2161992 https://padlet.com/sambrown2161992/Philosophy2/wish/551760921 Watch the clip and answer the following questions:
