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. |
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'. |
