 His point is that the Proposition does not, despite appearances, express a logical product. It rather, he now seems to be saying, expresses something like an indefinitely extensible process. Wittgenstein came to see his earlier hope that it did express a logical product rested on the mistake of confusing “dots of infinitude” with “dots of laziness.”. The upshot could scarely be more important: if Wittgenstein is right, the Tractatus’s very conception of the general form of the proposition, because it makes essential appeal to the idea of the joint denial of arbitrarily many values of a propositional function, is itself infected with confusion.
