Abstract
In this part of the development of the theme, attention will be paid to the very original concept of verification found in Wittgenstein. The analysis is devoted to the 100th anniversary of his birth.The purpose is to show that this concept is not the first formulation of the strict principle of verification, as Carnap (1936-37) meant, but to seek such a verification / contrac- ture theory that includes the concepts of verification / counterfeiting, proof and confirmation / anticipation of late neopositivity / analytical philosophy and proving the lime elemental tools of today's science.Wittgenstein has reformulated Duhem's general concept of verification as the principle of verification and falsification in the concept of checking the rules and thus got the original theory that must be compared to each later.
Highlights
1, In his early period Wittgenstein already distinguished the problem of meaning as the central theme from the problem of the truthfulness of the sentence (Gargani, 1982:356, Haller, 1988:16)
The same we find in TLP (6.1263, 6.1264)
In our opinion par. 4063 already speaks more clearly in favour of such thesis: we must first know under what circumstances we call »p« true, first comes the determination, or better, the employing, of the sense (Sinn) of the sentence, and we can see whether »p« is true or not
Summary
1, In his early period Wittgenstein already distinguished the problem of meaning as the central theme from the problem of the truthfulness of the sentence (Gargani, 1982:356, Haller, 1988:16). In N M N Wittgenstein marked the difference between logical and, as he there said, real propositions, between their proof and truth. The term corroboration Wittgenstein used as confirmation in connection with hypothesis — the experience corroborates (WW II, 232), the facts corroborate a part of a hypothesis (PR, 178), somme proposition describing actual use »can be later corroborated« (PG, I, 42).
