| Rules, philosophy: rules are restrictions of a domain of possibilities for subjects, communities or functionaries, or generally for acting individuals or groups. Rules may be implicit or explicit, and may be implemented by ordinance or by jointly developing equally authorized participants, e.g. in a discourse. In another sense, rules can be understood as actual regularities that can be discovered by observation. These rules can be discovered not only in action, but also in the nature of objects such as linguistic structures. See also norms, values, rule following, private language, language rules, discourse, ethics, morality, cognitivism, intuitionism, society, practice._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Richard Mervyn Hare on Rules - Dictionary of Arguments
II 144 Rules/Hare: E.g., we try to reconstruct a dance: It is now another mistake to assume that finding out the rules of the dance is an analytical truth. But here again there is nothing to discover because the original rules were given. II 145 In examining, we do not start with a definition, but with the mere ability to recognize individual cases of correct executions as such. Then, at the end, there is the definitional codification of our knowledge. Analytical: An analytical statement is probably (in a dance textbook): "Eightsome Reel means the dance that is danced in a certain (correct) way".... II 146 Hare: There is no discovery, but there is an invention of the dance "Eightsome Reel". Shall we therefore speak of a third kind of statement? (Between analytic and synthetic a priori?). II 148 Language/Hare: Language is similar to dance in our example. The fact that the rules are not formulated means that when you learn to formulate them, you make a kind of discovery. >Discoveries, >Language, >Definitions, >Analyticity._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
