Into the book
As Wittgenstein already pointed out, language is not a picture of reality but a tool with many uses, so the method of representation is a matter of convention.
Understanding a statement means not knowing what it draws, but what it does, what function it has, and what purpose it serves.
......
Magritte's images of similarity show what similarity is.
That is, he mentioned that it is a combination of forms that does not contain anything... No matter how lines, words, and colors are arranged on the page, the drawn forms are always full of meaning.
