Question

According to Ludwig Wittgenstein, which among the following does a proposition involve in order to be a representation of the reality?

• A. Logico-Pictorial Form
• B. The totality of facts
• C. The totality of things in the world
• D. The concatenation of objects

Hint:

In Wittgenstein’s it{Tractatus}, focus on the concept of propositions as logical pictures of reality.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

According to Ludwig Wittgenstein in his work it{Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus}, a proposition represents reality through a logico-pictorial form.
1. Propositions are logical pictures of facts.
2. A proposition must share the same logical structure (or form) with the state of affairs it depicts, allowing it to represent reality.
Incorrect options:
- (B): The totality of facts is Wittgenstein’s definition of the world, not specific to propositions.
- (C): The totality of things in the world does not concern the logical structure of propositions.
- (D): The concatenation of objects refers to the combination of objects in the world, not the logical form of propositions.
Thus, the correct answer is (A) Logico-Pictorial Form.
