Abstract
The aim of my paper is to describe and evaluate different conceptions of holism in Ludwig Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. I distinguish three readings of holistic elements in this work: i) Minimal Holism (E. Anscombe, M. Black, D. Pears); ii) Moderate Holism (J. Conant, C. Diamond, G. Ryle); and iii) Radical Holism (G. Bar-Elli, M. Kremer, P. Livingston). The conclusion is that the most viable option is Moderate Holism since it embraces the logico-syntactical notion of use, rejects an anachronistic interpretation of Tractatarian ontology and allows us to see that the holistic elements are complementary to the initial atomism of the work. Moreover, I point to the consequences of the topic for the overall reading of Wittgenstein’s early and late work.
本文的目的是描述和评价维特根斯坦的《逻辑哲学论》中关于整体论的不同概念。我在这部作品中区分了三种整体元素的解读:I)最小整体主义(E. Anscombe, M. Black, D. Pears);ii)适度整体论(J. Conant, C. Diamond, G. Ryle);激进整体主义(G. Bar-Elli, M. Kremer, P. Livingston)。结论是，最可行的选择是适度整体主义，因为它包含了使用的逻辑句法概念，拒绝了对理论本体论的不合时宜的解释，并允许我们看到整体元素是对工作的初始原子论的补充。此外，我指出了这个话题对维特根斯坦早期和晚期作品的整体阅读的影响。
