Whereas a tautology says nothing about which possible reality holds. A tautology provides no information; a contradiction provides too much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36235418.post-20608005156905679022007-10-16T07:36:00.000-07:002007-10-16T07:36:00.000-07:00Thanks.Yes, I agree that 'logical space' means the...Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Yes, I agree that 'logical space' means the space of possible realities. What I'm puzzled by is more Wittgenstein's way of expressing his point. "Contradiction fills the whole of logical space" sounds very odd to my ears. Maybe 'blocks' would work better than 'fills'.DRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332954000692559637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36235418.post-37518047132370953952007-10-16T06:47:00.000-07:002007-10-16T06:47:00.000-07:00I think 'logical space' here just means the space ...I think 'logical space' here just means the space of possible realities, not space of possible logical forms, or however it is you're interpreting it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
