IIRC the invisible hand is only explicitly named just one time in the FIRST edition of Wealth of Nations, to say nothing of later editions. Also "language game" is explicitly invoked only minimally in Philosophical investigations (though the examples illustrate a simple version of the concept at some length).

What? See below

“there are two subdivisions, in the lower of which the soul uses the figures given by the former division as images; the enquiry can only be hypothetical, and instead of going upwards to a principle descends to the other end; in the higher of the two, the soul passes out of hypotheses, and goes up to a principle which is above hypotheses, making no use of images as in the former case, but proceeding only in and through the ideas themselves,”

and Timaeus, Parmenides is really out there and has lots of critiques of prior/internal systems

>>18192627
Where does he talk about emanations? I've heard Catholics talk about it them in their theology, but never cite where they got the idea.

>read the Bible because Jesus is supposed to be the Savior who forgives all our sins
