The Difference Of’Game’between Heidegger And Wittgenstein’s Thoughts

In order to compare the ontological difference of ’game’ between Heidegger and Wittgenstein’s thoughts, the author, firstly, begins from the origins of their thoughts of ’game’and has generally interrogated the conception and essence of game, upon which is the comparisons grounded.With the help of the comparisons of Heidegger and Wittgenstein’s thoughts of game, the author has deduced the following several conclusions:to start with, Wittgenstein does not think there is an essence in game except the family resemblance, while Heidegger suggests being as adventuring is a permanent player, permanent game let being could dwell and appropriate its own being. Subsequently, Wittgenstein’s language-game could be summarized as:language is only if it is in game. Naming is approximately sticking labels to its objects and commanding is the game of communication between the commander and the commanded person. However, Heidegger presents, naming is a kind of calling, when commanding means inviting. Thirdly, Wittgenstein points out, we are usually confused by the seeming familiarity with strange things and puzzled by the sudden feeling of strangeness with some thing that is familiar to us previously, whereas Heidegger asserts, the reason why Dasein can play with the world is its familiarity and concern with the world.Wittgenstein suggests we can be playing while we are creating the rules of that game, also we can be playing when we are altering the rules of that game. In Heidegger’s thought, game has nothing to do with creating or altering rules, game is as our wish from our heart but never out of rules. Lastly, Wittgenstein thinks the complication of the game of ’hearing’ is we not only can hardly be sure with the definition of intrinsic activity of hearing, but also generate different understandings upon the words both read and written in the same way, whereas Heidegger advises that the primordial speaker is language itself and our potentiality for speaking is acquired from our careful hearing the language.
