9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 1. Physical Objects

23466	Objects are the substance of the world [Wittgenstein]
	Full Idea: Objects make up the substance of the world.
	From: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus [1921], 2.021)
	A reaction: He doesn't say here that the objects are physical, and may be including Frege's abstract objects. His concept of substance seems more like Spinoza than Aristotle.

9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 5. Simples

23467	Objects are simple [Wittgenstein]
	Full Idea: Objects are simple
	From: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus [1921], 2.02)
	A reaction: Presumably all his objects are 'simples', and what we think of as normal objects are counted by LW as 'facts'.
