Abstract

In this paper, I will consider the comparison of a proposition to a set of coordinates fixing a point in space in early Wittgenstein's thought. Pears pointed out that there is a tension between this comparison (which leads to holism) and separatist element in the relation between reality and sense. But I think this tension is illusion and a right interpretation of Wittgenstein's view of language will vanish this illusion. For this purpose, I will illuminate the comparison of a proposition to a set of coordinates and the motivation of this comparison.
