‘What I give,’ Wittgenstein once said in a lecture, ‘is the morphology of the use of an expression.’ Elsewhere, he wrote: ‘Our thought here marches with certain views of Goethe’s which he expressed in the Metamorphosis of Plants … We are collating one form of language with its environment, or transforming it in imagination so as to gain a view of the whole space in which the structure of our language has its being.’
