Definition of family relation; resemblance in English English dictionary: {i} propinquity
family resemblance: (Felsefe) pFamily resemblance (German Familienähnlichkeit ) is a philosophical idea proposed by Ludwig Wittgenstein, with the most well known exposition being given in the posthumously published book Philosophical Investigations (1953) . The idea itself takes its name from Wittgenstein's metaphorical description of a type of relationship he argued was exhibited by language. Wittgenstein's pppoint was that things which may be thought to be connected by one essential common feature may in fact be connected by a series of overlapping similarities, where no one feature is common to all. Games, which Wittgenstein used to explain the notion, have become the paradigmatic example of a group that is related by family resemblances
