A Study On Wittgenstein's Logical Picture Theory

Wittgenstein is a famous logician and philosopher.Early Wittgenstein makes a logical analysis of language and the world,demonstrating the relationship between language and the world.He divides the world into the outer world and the logical space.Whatever the world is,it is made up of facts,facts consist of things and objects.Facts and events consist of basic facts and basic events respectively.Wittgenstein thinks that language is the external expression of propositions,and language has the function of describing the world.The proposition corresponds to the fact,the arrangement of the basic proposition forms the molecular proposition,and each basic proposition corresponds to a fact.The relation between the name and object in the proposition is the bridge between language and the world.The way in which ideas are expressed in a language is the same as the way they are shown in picture.Logical structure of language can be painted in the picture,picture is the proposition of the fact that the world is made up of facts,so language can describe the world,the picture between the language and the world,this is the basic logical picture point of view.Wittgenstein's logical picture theory promotes the turn of language philosophy and has a profound influence on the development of analytical philosophy and language philosophy.
