Martin Schulz, 29 Mar 2024}, author = {Wittgenstein,Ludwig}, subject = {Lists}, note = {II 150f Class/Logical Sum/Logical Product/List/Properties/Wittgenstein: if a class can be specified by a list, it is a logical product or a sum, e.g. tones of an octave. Then the class is not defined by characteristics, but in the grammar. "Tone of an octave" is not a property of a tone. N.B.: it is not necessary to add: "and these are all" - that would apply even if the world consisted only of particulars. By contrast: if a class is defined by properties. II 265 Ability/Language Game/Circumstance/Wittgenstein: II 266 For example, a tribe learns certain songs and poems by heart. Before they are performed in public, they are rehearsed in silence. Does "can" mean that the silent rehearsing is successful? The use of "can" is therefore based on this special fact. Without this circumstance it would not have become established. However, the circumstance itself does not enter into the meaning of "can", unless "meaning" means the description of the entire practice of using this word. However, such a description cannot be given, because no list will be long enough. (> Theory of Use of Meaning/Wittgenstein). II 416 WittgensteinVsRussell: he was looking to get another "entity" besides the list, so he provided a function that uses identity to define that entity. List/Class/Wittgenstein: usually a function is not replaced by a list (class). Function/List/infinite/Wittgenstein: a harmful consequence of the attempt to exchange function and list results in connection with infinite lists. For example, the movement of a pendulum can be calculated depending on whether it is attracted by a finite or infinite number of bodies. II 417 Determining the number of bodies by law is something completely different from counting them.}, note = { W II L.
