s to understand all the activities
             of the culture in which it is used. And just as the only real
             way to learn a foreign language is to put yourself into a
             situation where it is in constant use, so the only way to truly
             understand the language games involved in that language would be
             to immerse yourself fully into that culture, its beliefs and its
             practices. After all, it is in this way that children first
             In rejecting the notion of absolute truth, Wittgenstein points
             to both the different pictures of the world occurring between
             cultures, and those that can be seen to differ over time.
             To illustrate the falseness of absolute truth, Wittgenstein takes
             one of the propositions that Moore hold to be absolutely true:
             "the earth had existed...for many years before my body was born;"
             (G.E. Moore, Philosophical Papers Page 33). He now asks us to
             imagine the case of a king who has been brought up in the belief
             that the world was created at his birth. If the king and Moore
             were to meet, is there anything that Moore could say that would
             make the king come to believe Moore's view? It is quite likely
             that Moore's view would seem as ridiculous to the king as the
             king's view appears to Moore and to those of us who like Moore
             hold that the world has existed for a long time past.
             Wittgenstein adds, "I do not say that Moore could not convert the
             king to his view, but it would be a conversion of a special kind;
             the king would be brought to look at the world in a different
             way." (Ludwig Wittgenstein, On Certainty 92). In other words,
             for the king to comprehend Moore's view, it would require that
