Title: "On the Foundations of the Tractatus Logical Atomism"

Abstract: The talk has a threefold objective: a) to clarify the theoretical reasons that lead Wittgenstein to attribute to objects, that is, to the entities playing the semantic role of references of names, the characteristic of substantiality, understood as the property of subsisting independently of what is the case; b) to present the logical atomism of the Tractatus in its skeletal form, so to speak, that is, as a schematic ontology which becomes a full-blown ontology once the specific nature of objects and states of affairs is determined; c) to formulate a condition of adequacy for the interpretation of the Tractatus ontology and to show that the conjectural identification of objects with phenomenal qualities (qualia, in Goodman’s sense) satisfies this condition.
