비트겐슈타인의 『논리-철학 논고(Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus)』에 나타난 시간과 공간의 형식적 지위에 관한 심층연구: 논리적 선험성(A Priori Status)과 존재론적 완결성(Ontological Completeness)을 중심으로

This study deeply analyzes the status of time and space as pure logical forms that define the possibility of combining objects beyond simple reality in Ludwig Wittgenstein's 『Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus』 (hereinafter referred to as 『TLP』). Within the Logical Atomism, the basis of 『TLP』 ontology, time and space are positioned in the form of objects according to proposition 2.0251, which means that they are a priori condition for the occurrence of events, not the contents that constitute States of Affairs. The original contribution of this paper is to elucidate the functional role of this formal status. We demonstrate the logical necessity of Infinite Regression, in which the Substantiality of the world collapses when set to time or space, and further elucidate how this form structurally guarantees the logical independence of the elementary propositions declared by Proposition 5.134 by constructing a logical space. In particular, the time format completes the core logic of the paper that one fact does not logically imply another by providing a a priori framework that allows for contingency between different events. In a comparative study of philosophical history, this study analyzes Wittgenstein's perspective in contrast to Immanuel Kant's Transcendental Aesthetic. Wittgenstein proves that Kant overcame the limitations of relying on a subjective 'intuitive form' and reduced it to the realm of the world's own objective and logical inevitability, which is irrelevant to the ability to recognize subjectively. In conclusion, the formal status analysis of time/space provides crucial insight into understanding the systematic completeness leading to the ontology, picture theory, and logical structure of the truth function in 『TLP』.
