This Element presents a concise and accessible view of the central
arguments of Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.
Starting from the difficulties found in historical and current
debates, drawing on the background of Russell's philosophy, and
grounded in the ladder structure expressed in the numbering system
of the book, this Element presents the central arguments of the
Tractatus in three lines of thought. The first concerns the role of
the so-called 'ontology' and its relationship to the method of the
Tractatus and its logical symbolism, which displays the formal
essence of language and world. The second deals with the symbolic
unity of language and its role in the 'ladder structure' and
explains how and why the book is not self-defeating. The third
elucidates Wittgenstein's claim to have solved in essentials all
philosophical problems, whose very formulation, he says, rests on
misunderstandings.
