Abstract

The aim of this paper is to argue for the new Wittgensteinians’ claim that Frege and Wittgenstein share a contextualist attitude with respect to the individuation of content and, as a result, an austere conception of nonsense. To do this, I offer alternative interpretations of the passages of the Tractatus in which Wittgenstein seems committed to the attitude opposed to contextualism—compositionalism.
El propósito de este artículo es argumentar a favor de la afirmación de los nuevos wittgensteinianos de que Frege y Wittgenstein comparten una actitud contextualista con respecto a la individuación del contenido y, como resultado, una concepción austera del sinsentido. Para ello, ofrezco interpretaciones alternativas de los pasajes del Tractatus en los que Wittgenstein parece comprometerse con la actitud opuesta al contextualismo: el composicionalismo
