One work by this man opens by examining a "particular picture" of language from the Confessions of St. Augustine. This philosopher imagined a builders' vocabulary made of words like "block" and "slab" in a work that distinguishes between "seeing that" and "seeing as something else". This thinker argued that because there is nothing common to all games, they must be characterized by a family (*) resemblance. In his later work, this man demonstrated the impossibility of a private language with the "beetle in a box" thought experiment. In another work, this philosopher concludes that "what we cannot speak of, we must pass over in silence." For 10 points, name this author of Philosophical Investigations and Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.
