In the “Preface” to the Tractatus, Wittgenstein clearly stated that besides Russell, he was also greatly “indebted to the magnificent works of Frege”. The present chapter demonstrates the decisive influence of Frege on Wittgenstein both in the developing of a concept-script designed to clarify our language and thinking, as well as in connecting it to life. It also traces how Wittgenstein followed Frege by advancing a minimal, or “soft,” theory of language and thinking. The concluding section offers evidence that substantiates the claim that Wittgenstein, in his turn, may well have exerted a significant influence on the late Frege.

摘要

In the “Preface” to the Tractatus, Wittgenstein clearly stated that besides Russell, he was also greatly “indebted to the magnificent works of Frege”. The present chapter demonstrates the decisive influence of Frege on Wittgenstein both in the developing of a concept-script designed to clarify our language and thinking, as well as in connecting it to life. It also traces how Wittgenstein followed Frege by advancing a minimal, or “soft,” theory of language and thinking. The concluding section offers evidence that substantiates the claim that Wittgenstein, in his turn, may well have exerted a significant influence on the late Frege.
