This Element describes Wittgenstein's concept of 'forms of life', while also explaining Wittgenstein's reluctance to say much about it. The Element examines the meaning of the term in Wittgenstein's time, presents a survey of Wittgenstein's employment of it, an overview of the literature, and finally, offers a methodological reading of this notion.
