Ludwig Wittgenstein on Models - Dictionary of Arguments
Hintikka I 129 Wittgenstein/Tractatus: the sentence is an image of reality, the sentence is a model of reality as we think it is. (4.01). >Picture theory. - - - VII 62 Model/Tractatus: We take pictures of reality. (2.1) These pictures are models (2.12). >Picture (image), >Picture (mapping). VII 66 Model/Tetens: the model has certain characteristics and relations in common with the corresponding objects in the world. >World, >Reality, >Similarity. VII 69 Model/Tractatus: the model itself is a part of reality and therefore consists of facts. Hence: (2.141) the picture is a fact. Mapping/Form/World/Tractatus: the "form of the mapping" is the possibility that things relate to each other like the elements of the image (2.151) Model/Tetens: exists if they behave in exactly the same way. Problem: at first, model and reality have nothing to do with each other. Solution: Assignment rule. (2.1513 – 2.1515) VII 72 Model/Tractatus/Tetens: For example, the relationship between record and score is a model for the relationship between language and reality. >Language. VII 78 Model/Tetens: there are also higher level models, e.g. for the ratio of a construction model to the original. This shows a limit of mapping. >Limits._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
