Shame [Wittgenstein] doesn't get more recognition for his great work in logic.
Which great work in logic did W. produce?
He is known for some inchoate criticisms, e.g. he doesn't like Cantor's diagonal proof, but none of his criticisms have -- as far as I'm aware, lead anywhere interesting in logic.
- dvt 11y agoThe Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. In it, Wittgenstein touts his logical atomism. I don't put much stock in the Tractatus, but some people build entire academic careers on it. So who knows, maybe I'm missing something.
- mafribe 11y agoI don't see any particular contributions to logic in the Tractatus.
