Abstract

This paper presents the debate on the attribution of two forms of mentalism to the early Wittgenstein, in the light of the exegetical dispute on propositions 3 and 3.1 of the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. The aim of this text is to show that there are serious difficulties both for those who argue that there is at least one form of mentalism present in the Tractatus and for those who reject one or both forms of mentalism.
