 Some of the unclarity in the conception of analysis introduced by Russell’s rejection of propositions is inherited by Wittgenstein, who similarly rejects any ontology of shadowy entities expressed by sentences. In the Tractatus a “proposition” (Satz) is a “propositional sign in its projective relation to the world” (3.12). This makes it seem as though any difference between propositional signs ought to suffice for a difference between propositions, in which case analysans and analysandum could at best be distinct propositions with the same truth conditions.
