The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is as difficult and puzzling as his author Wittgenstein.The unique writing style of Wittgenstein,whose language is profound and complex,and aphoristic expression in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicusmake many scholars have various understanding to the philosophy of Wittgenstein and his early work Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus as well as the explanation of the proposition in this book and evaluation of Wittgenstein's work.Von Wright,Wittgenstein's student even believes that Wittgenstein's ideas are often misunderstood and denied by people who claim to be students of Wittgenstein.This is not an exaggeration.In terms of the content of the book Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus,Many of the well-known words,such as world,fact,object,schema,proposition,meaningless,saying,unspeakable,and displayed,are not used only as they are intended to.Wittgenstein built a completely different world in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus.It is the sum of facts,and it is no longer the simple accumulation of things.Researching the early Wittgenstein's philosophical thoughts and his concepts of language,propositions,images and so on are inseparable from their interpretation of the “world”.Therefore,it is very important to study early Wittgenstein's thought of “world”.Based on the above purposes,this article will be explained through the following chapters: The first chapter mainly describes the writing background and basic ideas of the book Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus,and explains the early Wittgenstein's thought of “world” demonstration preparation.On the second chapter,it discusses the different interpretations of philosophy from the earlier philosophical theories of Wittgenstein's thoughts and comments on its early “world” thoughts,including the criticism of earlier Wittgenstein's thoughts.Such criticism can make us more objectively to read Wittgenstein and his TractatusLogico-Philosophicus.The third chapter understands Wittgenstein's“world” thought through the interpretation of concepts related to the world,such as objects,logical space,propositions,and images.Finally,it's the possible conclusion of this article.This article holds that Wittgenstein's world is clearer,more rigorous,more fair,and more modest.No one can speak the true meaning of the world,and we must remain silent about all this.
