Well, these are just objects. The relation of objects (in a chain) are what constitute atomic facts. The properties of objects and things doesn't get ...

From the above referenced website: https://i.imgur.com/Fmy4CJY.png Although, I disagree with the author that Sachverhalt are the same as Sachlage. Edi...

Here's proposition 2.0201 that supports what I'm asserting about there being complex and simple facts: 2.0201 Every statement about complexes can be r...

As far as I know, those are the atomic facts that pertain to actual facts. An interesting corollary question is whether Wittgenstein meant to impress ...

@"Wayfarer" will be able to help more. I don't recall the differences in the validity of differing beliefs according to Plato. I think 'doxa' is what ...

You can be contextually bound to believe something to be true; but, given that it is 'doxa' it's limited to only a contextually bound scope.

Is it me or has CNN turned quite liberal as of late? I always assumed they were just an apparatchik for the White House. Not that I'm complaining...

Well, you got to start somewhere...

Same here. That's my preferred method of communication and learning. It's very tedious and cumbersome though. Not something that will ever allow you t...

Yeah, if you know any companion that would answer this question about the lingering ambiguity please post a link. I'm also apprehensive to commit to t...

I just assume that Sachverhalt is what is actually the case in t=0, and Sachlage is what is possible in t=0....1. Dunno if that makes any sense.

This is where I think it would be pertinent to use at least some comprehensive companion to refer to in regards to matters of what was meant by Tatasc...

Hey, Bob. I'm not sure. I feel as though it's the foundational difference between being a solipsist or not one.

It isn't as bad as you think it is. In many cases the majority of the goods needed are supplied by neighboring partners or the tariffs aren't that des...

Actually, that would never happen because the personal is all there is to a solipsist. So, nothing more can be said about what's 'beyond the personal'...

Yeah, I don't want to go down that conspiracy road. I just think it's ludicrous that Trump being Putin's favorite, as in many ways Bush was, is comple...

I'm somewhat drunk or buzzed, ask me anything.

The guy can't speak proper English. He speaks American, according to Republicans. Anyway, I think there is a deep sense of cynicism apparent in saying...

:cry:

Still waiting on what @"mcdoodle" has to say. Sorry for jumping ahead, just that you kind of have to to clarify what is meant in some holistic manner ...

Sorry, I'm a bit overwhelmed. I'll post screenshots of what I'm going on about here. https://i.imgur.com/dJJta27.png https://i.imgur.com/ZVmq5Cl.png h...

So, in other words; Sachverhalt is what is and Sachlage is what could be. Hope I didn't oversimplify it.

Yeah, that's not how I understand Sachlage. More like a possible configuration of atomic facts giving rise to it having a 'sense'. Please correct me i...

It's a semantic quibble over what obtains in reality (Sachverhalt) and what not necessarily so or is otherwise possible (Sachlage). Further complicati...

I just searched my own companion I'm using to elucidate some issues with technicalities here: https://books.google.com/books?id=uzY9AAAAIAAJ&q=sachlag...

So, I hope I'm not going too off topic here. I'm just trying to understand if there is any apparent difference between 'Sachlage' (state of affairs) a...

I'm not entirely sure if this is just another ad hominem or not, despite me agreeing with it to some degree. I mean, Trump is just a puppet in all thi...

Strange, as I've always been under the impression that states of affairs was synonymous with pictorial forms (the basis of Wittgenstein's picture theo...

Ok, I digress. Sorry.

If states of affairs are the pictorial form of logical relations between atomic facts, which are further understood as simples, then they are not one ...

No, if memory serves me correctly according to Max Black, the two are distict and separate in meaning.

First I'd like to address the terminology of the terms used in the Tractatus. Objects and atomic facts are simple. Facts are the logical relations bet...

Changed it. Currently digesting what both @"MetaphysicsNow" and you have said.

I'm not sure anything meaningful can be said when one brings up an idealized driven concept of having the right character or morals for some job or po...

The trolling is real.

Yeah, if I had capital and lived in AZ, I'd look into a private energy generating scheme to build a subsidized array and sell it back to the utilities...

Have you gone solar? There was a solar program offered by SoCalEdison for a free 1kW array. I tried telling my mom to jump on it; but, I think the pro...

Cool. Thanks, I figure more will be gained from freedom from constraints of any companion. Thanks again.

Appreciated MetaphysicsNow. Looking forward to getting this started. Did you decide on any companion to the Tractatus or just play it by ear?

Another funny video came to mind. Some foul language ensues in the video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_y4DbZivHCY

Agreed. My bad.

What if we included words like, "crazy" or "dysfunctional" into the discussion. Would that better address the issue in any way pertaining what is thou...
