As concepções de linguagem e de causalidade no Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus de Wittgenstein

Abstract

The objective of this work is twofold. Initially, it is intended (1) to expose the conception of language developed by the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951), in the first phase of his thinking, contained in his work Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. To do so, we seek to analyze the fundamental theses of the work in which the conception of the relationship between language and the world is contained. Moreover, it is intended (2) to present the tractatiana conception of causality of the mentioned philosopher, making a parallel with the considerations on the causality of the Scottish philosopher David Hume (1711-1776).
