Sobre a fragmentação do espaço lógico tractariano

Abstract

Here I defend that the systems of propositions (Satzsysteme) in the middle period of Wittgenstein’s Philosophy represent the development of the tractarian notion of logical space after the Color Exclusion Problem. I aim then to deal with some essential features of these emergent systems, namely: 1. the radicalization of a kind of holism to be found already in the Tractatus; 2. the exclusion by contrariety, which shows the insufficiency of contradictions in capturing finer conceptual exclusions; 3. the asymmetric negation, which allows the explosion of alternatives and overcomes the tractarian bipolarity; and 4. the mandatory exhaustion (completeness) of possibilities, i.e., all possible articulation of conceptual elements must be totally provided in a system.
