description | The main objective of my article is the presentation and critical analysis of two possible
interpretations of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. I juxtapose the so-called
resolute reading with the metaphysical reading. The crucial dissimilarity between
these interpretations is that they ascribe different roles to the sentences contained
in the Tractatus. According to the metaphysical reading, these sentences – although
they are nonsensical from the point of view of the Tractatus – attempt to express
a certain view of reality and language, whereas according to the resolute reading,
these sentences are mere nonsense and only seem to make sense; they exemplify
nonsense and therefore show the nonsensicality of philosophical theories. I consider
the objections against both interpretations and point out that although the resolute
reading adequately presents and explains many questions concerning Wittgenstein’s
Tractatus, it requires essential modifications. In the last part of my article, I suggest
that the sentences of the Tractatus do not function as propositions but as rules of
translation. |
