    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Many concepts work perfectly through family resemblance (game, art, justice) without collapsing into incoherence or subjectivity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A criterion's existence doesn't guarantee shareable sense; criteria can be equally contested, shifting the problem rather than solving it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Successful communication and coordination occur constantly without explicit shared criteria, suggesting they aren't logically necessary.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    Reason against
    ?

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Family resemblance alone cannot ground truth-claims; mere similarity permits contradictory ideas to count as equally 'shareable.'
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Intersubjectivity demands criteria distinguishing genuine understanding from mere apparent agreement between isolated perspectives.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
