9. Objects / B. Unity of Objects / 2. Substance / a. Substance
Apart from the facts, there is only substance [Wittgenstein]
     Full Idea: Substance is what remains independently of what is the case.
     From: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus [1921], 2.024)
     A reaction: He sees what is the case as comprised of objects, so substance is even more basic. It seems close to Spinoza's single-substance view.
