Scientific Representation, Causality and Induction in L. Wittgenstein’s Tractatus


 The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how the Wittgenstein Tractatus deals with themes related laws nature, as well metatheoretical principles science. More specifically, our intention expose notions scientific representation linked such those causality and induction. As a starting point, we propose that notion non-precedence one theory over another Hertzian inspiration, which argues “one image may be more suitable for purpose, another” (HERTZ, 1956, p. 3). an unfolding notion, systems geometric Hertz Boltzmann will serve in order laws, like law causality, form not content, only represent network (any method) that, after all, optional. On other hand, induction have no logical basis their effect, wake what Hume thought, psychological. Like Tractatus, its Philosophy Science cannot understood outside broader context, proper context criticism language. Therefore, presented here intends divorced from relationship between logic, language science, since, view, these are three pillars support Logico-Philosophicus.
