Abstract
Wittgenstein is a famous philosopher of language. Philosophers of language believed that people talk about the world and worldly objects through the use of language, so the only way to know the structure of thought or experience related to the world and worldly objects is to know the structure of language. And the way to know this structure of language is to analyze language. Language analysis is possible only through the inherent logic of language. This logic of language is inherent in the nature of language. Therefore, to understand the logic of language, one must understand the nature of language. According to Wittgenstein, it is possible to describe the world only through language, so to understand language, one must understand the nature of the world. In this context, Wittgenstein explained the nature of the world in his book ‘Tractetus: Logico Philosophicus’. ‘World is the totality of facts, not of things.’ - Based on this principle, an attempt will be made to have a complete discussion about the world in this series.
