N2 - The opening remarks of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus seem to outline the bases of an atomistic ontological theory. For the resolute interpreters, such
an ontology should be considered as mere part of the set of nonsensical
propositions that make up the parody of a semantic theory. However, resolute
readers share with the traditional views an essentialist reading of the
ontological section, according to which Wittgenstein's remarks are intended to
build up a real, though parodistic, atomistic ontology.
By contrast, textual evidence supports the idea that the basic notion of
Wittgenstein’s ontology, i.e. the notion of object, should be considered as an
intra-linguistic, rather than an ontological one. In this paper, we want to
show how some of the main claims of the resolute readings could be fruitfully
combined with the analyses of Tractarian objects that illustrate them as the
semantic roles of names.
