23472	The sense of propositions relies on the world's basic logical structure [Wittgenstein]
	Full Idea: In order for a proposition to be CAPABLE of making sense, the world must already have the logical structure it has. The logic of the world is prior to all truth and falsehood.
	From: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Notebooks 1914-1916 [1915], p.14c)
	A reaction: It seems that in Tractatus it is propositions about facts which are true or false, but prior to the facts are substance and the objects, and it is there that we find the logical structure of the world. I see this view as modern stoicism.
