Sonia Micu – Can Family Resemblance Determine a Concept?

Frege’s definition of a concept puts a significant amount of pressure on the eligibility of Wittgenstein’s family resemblance to determine a concept. According to Frege, vagueness and the lack of clear boundaries cannot stand for a genuine concept. In this short essay, I explore the topic and I argue that no clear boundaries are not one and the same with no boundaries at all. Using one of Wittgenstein’s ideas, I conclude that boundaries of any concept determined by family resemblance can be drawn for a special purpose.
