Abstract

AbstractThis paper will explore the engagement of Wittgenstein, Ramsey and the Vienna Circle (mostly Schlick and Carnap) in the 1920s. This is before Wittgenstein became what we know as the later Wittgenstein and one upshot of the paper will be that it was Ramsey who turned Wittgenstein away from the quest for a pure and objective language (a quest he shared with the Vienna Circle) and turned him towards the pragmatist idea that meaning is bound up with use.KeywordsFrank RamseyLudwig WittgensteinVienna CircleMoritz SchlickRudolf CarnapMeaning as useTractatusHabit
