early Wittgenstein

Early Wittgenstein, particularly in his work "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus," argued that language reflects the world through a logical structure. He believed that meaningful statements can only be made about facts that can be pictured or represented. Wittgenstein proposed that the limits of language are the limits of our world, suggesting that what we can meaningfully discuss is confined to empirical observations. In essence, he sought to clarify the relationship between language, thought, and reality, aiming to identify what can be said clearly and what lies beyond meaningful discussion.
