- The world consists of independent atomic facts — existing states of affairs — out of which larger facts are built.
- Language consists of atomic, and then larger-scale propositions that correspond to these facts by sharing the same "logical form".
- Thought, expressed in language, "pictures" these facts.
- We can analyse our thoughts and sentences to express ("express" as in show, not say) their true logical form.
- Those we cannot so analyze, cannot be meaningfully discussed.
- Philosophy consists of no more than this form of analysis: "Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muß man schweigen" ("Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent").
Discuss.
