Symbols in Wittgenstein’s Tractatus
This paper is concerned with the status of a symbol in Wittgenstein’s Tractatus. It is claimed in the first section that a Tractarian symbol, whilst essentially a syntactic entity to be distinguished from the mark or sound that is its sign, bears its semantic significance only inessentially. In the second and third sections I pursue this point of exegesis through the Tractarian discussions of n...
متن کاملMysticism and Nonsense in the Tractatus
Upon reading Wittgenstein’s Preface to his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, one could easily be forgiven for thinking that the book is in a similar line of business to any other work of analytical philosophy.

متن کامل‘Meaning is Use’ in the Tractatus

Surely, one wishes to say, mathematics does not treat of dashes on a bit of paper. Frege’s idea could be expressed thus: the propositions of mathematics, if they were just complexes of dashes, would be dead and utterly uninteresting, wh...
متن کاملThe Tractatus on Logical Consequence*
THE TRACTATUS ON LOGICAL CONSEQUENCE José L. Zalabardo ABSTRACT: I discuss the account of logical consequence advanced in Wittgenstein’s Tractatus. I argue that the role that elementary propositions are meant to play in this account can be used to explain two remarkable features that Wittgenstein ascribes to them: that they are logically independent from one another and that their components re...
متن کاملTRACTATUS on disjoint matchings in cubic graphs
In early 70s Berge conjectured that any bridgeless cubic graph contains five perfect matchings such that each edge belongs to at least one of them. In 1972 Fulkerson conjectured that, in fact, we can find six perfect matchings containing each edge exactly twice. By introducing the concept of an r-graph (a remarkable generalization of one of bridgeless cubic graph) Seymour in 1979 conjectured th...
