Abstract
JARAMILLO-URIBE, Juan Manuel. 100 years of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. A reflection on what cannot be said but shown: logic, philosophy and natural science. discus.filos [online]. 2022, vol.23, n.41, pp.155-174. Epub Aug 17, 2023. ISSN 0124-6127. https://doi.org/10.17151/difil.2022.23.41.9.
In this article, commemorative of the one hundred years of the Tractatus, the focus is on Wittgenstein’s first great work and on what would be his central objective, which, as he himself recognizes in the introduction, is none other than “Drawing limits to thought, or better, not to thought but to the expression of thoughts”, emphasizing proposition in language since it is in proposition where language is expressed sensibly. For the first years of Wittgenstein, the limits of thought only can be traced in language and not outside of it, since “what is on the other side of the limit does not make sense”.
