 Enough has now been said to make possible a consideration of Wittgenstein’s reasons for describing the position I have been calling “linguistic atomism” as “obvious.” Since the model for Tractarian analysis is the replacement of apparent names with (apparently) co-referring “terms for complexes,” together with eliminative paraphrase of the latter, it follows trivially that the endpoint of analysis, if there is one, will contain neither “terms for complexes” nor expressions that can be replaced by terms for complexes.
