Logical syntax in the tractatus
In Richard Gaskin (ed.), Grammar in Early Twentieth-Century Philosophy. Routledge (2001)
| Abstract | An essay on Wittgenstein's conception of nonsense and its relation to his idea that "logic must take care of itself". I explain how Wittgenstein's theory of symbolism is supposed to resolve Russell's paradox, and I offer an alternative to Cora Diamond's influential account of Wittgenstein's diagnosis of the error in the so-called "natural view" of nonsense. | |||||||||
