Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus - 05-28-2005, 12:28 PM

All philosophy enthusiast and common readers must have read Ludwig Wittgenstein's most important work, the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. It is, like it's name shows, a philsophic view about logic: more especifically, about the non-logicity of our languages. I agree with Wittgenstein's thoughts. However, I have decided to develop my short-cut from his very first point to the last one of this book: showing the conection between these points.

These two points are:
1.The world is everything that is the case.
7.Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

I get from 1. to 7. in seven steps. Each step is what follows of the previous one.

1.The world is everything that is the case. Which is equivalent to: The world is the totality of the atomic facts.

2.The facts are the logical reality of the world.

3.Logic is natural and these two are perfectoid*.

4.Languages are not completely logical, thus, languages are not nature-created (actually it's human createdº).

5.Languages are there to express the thoughts and the facts. But with the expresion, these get de-logicalized.

6.Languages should not be used to express facts (either molecular or atomic).

7.If we should not speak, then we should cannot speak. So, wherehereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

*=perfectoid is the word I use to describe the things that appear or try to be perfect, which is actually everything.
º=Although for me, there is no difference between natural and artificial creation itself.

This is all. Maybe they are too spaced points (i.e. with a lot of ideas between them), but the logic used is un-neglectable (I think). If someone proofs my statements wrong or just disagrees or agrees, let me know here.
