This chapter makes the case that the Tractatus does not develop a general philosophical theory but rather advances an original logical symbolism, a new instrument that enables one to “recognize the formal properties of propositions by mere inspection of propositions themselves” (6.122). Moreover, the Tractarian concept-script instructs us how to better follow the logic of language (die Sprachlogik) and by that token stands to enhance our capacity to think. Upon acquiring the thinking skills that one can develop by working with the new symbolism, one may move on and discard the notation—“throw away the ladder” (6.54), as Wittgenstein put it. Among other thing, this account of Wittgenstein’s project discredits the so-called resolute readings of the Tractatus.
