11074 | 'It is true that this follows' means simply: this follows [Wittgenstein] |
Full Idea: The proposition: "It is true that this follows from that" means simply: this follows from that. | |
From: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Remarks on the Foundations of Mathematics [1938], p.38), quoted by Robert Hanna - Rationality and Logic 6 | |
A reaction: Presumably this remark is simply expressing Wittgenstein's later agreement with the well-known view of Ramsey. Early Wittgenstein had endorsed a correspondence view of truth. |
