Context, Compositionally, and Nonsense in Wittgenstein's Tractatus
Ch. 4. P. 84–111.
Bronzo S.
This chapter aims to show that the Tractatus can be coherently committed, at one and the same time, to a strong version of the context principle (sufficiently strong to entail the austere conception of nonsense) and to a version of the principle of compositionality. It is quite natural to interpret these two semantic principles in a manner that renders them mutually incompatible. Taking his cue from some remarks in the Tractatus, the author tries to develop alternative understandings of the two principles according to which they are compatible with one another and indeed positively interdependent. He hopes to show that (1) there is good reason to attribute to the Tractatus the alternative understandings of each of these principles that he develops in the chapter, and that (2) these alternative ways of understanding the two principles are philosophically superior to those that render them mutually incompatible.

В данной работе рассматривается интерпретация реализма, предложенная современным американским философом Хилари Патнэмом. Согласно видению этого философа, эпистемологическая проблема реализма, которая обсуждалась в аналитической философии в XX веке, связана с проблемой ценности нашей жизни – так, реализм сам становится ценностью. В своих книгах Патнэм ссылается на Витгенштейна и говорит, что их понимание реализма одинаково. Данная работа ...

The article analyzes the work of N.I. Zhinkin devoted to language as a communicative
system. Zhinkin’s work is interesting because, in addition to the usual categories important
for the philosophy of language, he addresses such a phenomenon as sound, that is,
he offers to study the language in its entirety, including sounding speech, and builds
a system that allows ...

Прослеживается эволюция логики цветовых понятий Людвига Витгенштейна. Показывается то влияние, которое вариативность его исследовательской навигации в логическом пространстве цветности оказывает на демаркацию границ этого пространства и дисциплинарных границ логики. Статья предваряет перевод на русский язык фрагментов "Заметок о цвете" Витгенштейна, выполненный под научной редакцией З.А. Сокулер и Е.Г. Драгалиной-Черной. ...

It is almost universally accepted that the Frege-Geach Point is necessary for explaining the inferential relations and compositional structure of truth-functionally complex propositions. I argue that this claim rests on a disputable view of propositional structure, which models truth-functionally complex propositions on atomic propositions. I propose an alternative view of propositional structure, based on a ...

This volume presents different conceptions of logic and mathematics and discuss their philosophical foundations and consequences. This concerns first of all topics of Wittgenstein's ideas on logic and mathematics; questions about the structural complexity of propositions; the more recent debate about Neo-Logicism and Neo-Fregeanism; the comparison and translatability of different logics; the foundations of mathematics: ...

Frege appears to hold both (a) that thoughts are internally articulated, in a way that mirrors the semantic articulation of the sentences that express them, and (b) that the same thought can be analyzed in different ways, none of which has to be more fundamental than the others. Commentators have often taken these theses to ...

This paper argues that Wittgenstein opposed theories of meaning, and did so for good reasons. Theories of meaning, in the sense discussed here, are attempts to explain what makes it the case that certain sounds, shapes, or movements are meaningful linguistic expressions. It is widely believed that Wittgenstein made fundamental contributions to this explanatory project. ...

This paper identifies a tension in Frege’s philosophy and offers a diagnosis of its origins.Frege’s Context Principle can be used to dissolve the problem of propositional unity. However, Frege’s official response to the problem does not invoke the Context Principle, but the distinction between “saturated” and “unsaturated” propositional constituents. I argue that such a response ...

This paper argues that the conception of language articulated in Wittgenstein's Tractatus can be helpfully interpreted in light of two important themes in the philosophy of Stanley Cavell: 1) The idea that language requires our own personal contribution, and 2) the idea that the impulse to elaborate philosophical theories, whether skeptical or foundationalist, is partially motivated ...

The main claim of this paper is one that many readers will find surprising, namely that some central aspects of the Tractatus’ conception of language can be illuminated with the help of the philosophy of Stanley Cavell. One reason such a claim will seem surprising is that the Tractatus as standardly read is advancing an ...
