§36

Once someone recognises that there is no particular way of pointing at a colour or a shape they might try to look for the essence of meaning something in the mind rather than the body. Is there some mental process that guarantees that I mean this rather than that? - Wittgenstein wants to claim that there isn't.

In §36 Wittgenstein is explaining how one might get drawn into philosophical error.
