5. Theory of Logic / E. Structures of Logic / 2. Logical Connectives / a. Logical connectives

4704	Wittgenstein reduced Russell's five primitive logical symbols to a mere one [O'Grady]
	Full Idea: While Russell and Whitehead used five primitive logical symbols in their system, Wittgenstein suggested in his 'Tractatus' that this be reduced to one.
	From: Paul O'Grady (Relativism [2002], Ch.2)
	A reaction: This certainly captures why Russell was so impressed by him. In retrospect what looked like progress presumably now looks like the beginning of the collapse of the enterprise.
