Abstract
In showing that all representation of the world takes place through the representation of possible states of affairs in elementary propositions, Wittgenstein has begun to clarify both how one proposition occurs in another, and the nature and status of so-called logical truths. He has used his clarified understanding of the nature of logical portrayal to show that one proposition does not occur in another in the same way in which a name occurs in a proposition of which it is a constituent. That is to say, a molecular proposition does not have any content over and above what is contained in its atoms.
