|Abstract||This paper focuses on the relation between logic and
ontology. In particular, it demonstrates how classical logical
theory can clarify the ontological part of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s
Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. To this end, the work examines
the adequacy of a formal system that was devised by the Polish
logician, mathematician and philosopher Roman Suszko (1919–1979)
as a model for the Tractatus. Following a brief explanation of
the Tractarian ontology, the main ideas of Suszko’s system and
its philosophical significance will be considered. The latter
will be illustrated in the context of central Tractarian
concepts. Finally, two implications for a better understanding
of the Tractarian ontology will be pointed out.| |Keywords||No
