Ludwig Wittgenstein on Predication - Dictionary of Arguments
Tetens VII 133 Predication/Logical Form/Tractatus/Tetens: a) "The object a has the property F" ((s) predication), Fa) - b) "To each object, to which belongs the property F, also belongs the property G" ((s) universal quantification (x) (Fx> Gx)). >Quantification, >Universal quantification, >Existential quantification. - - - Hintikka I 126 Is/Tractatus/Wittgenstein/Hintikka: the "is" of predication is treated as in Frege and Russell, while the "is" of identity disappears and the "is" of the existence quantifier is traced back to truth functions. More precisely: in the Tractatus the existence of types of objects is expressed by the existence quantifier and this is then attributed to the disjunction. In contrast, the existence of a specific object cannot be articulated. >Existence statements._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
