It suggests and discusses the idea that rules followed by (other) people provide a tool for understanding them. It discusses rule-following (or coping with rules) as a complicated and heterogeneous lived practice. The (non-philosophical) talk about “rules-governed practices” is characterised as, primarily, a way of giving an account of particular people’s characters and their lives and events in them. This focus on understanding others as following particular rules and variously coping with their claims attempts to specify the variety of “attitudes towards a soul” as discussed in the Wittgensteinian tradition, along the lines of which the project stands, though not exclusively.
