The Early Wittgenstein on Thought and World

Abstrakt

The aim of this paper is to criticise several widely accepted interpretations of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus. Against some of them author argues that, firstly, the idea of isomorphism between language structures and the world is questionable and, in a significant sense, impossible; secondly, he claims that early Wittgenstein’s philosophy is focused not so much on the language-world relation but rather on the thought-world relation.
