LINAN OCANA, José Luis. THE PRINCIPLES OF CONTEXT AND COMPOSITIONALITY: FROM THE GRUNDLAGEN TO THE TRACTATUS. Univ. philos. [online]. 2010, vol.27, n.54, pp.131-161. ISSN 0120-5323.

The Principle of Context (PCtxt) and the Principle of Compositionality (PCmp) only conflict when they are construed as claims about the origin of meanings. I will clarify this point by means of an historical survey into the treatment that PCtxt receives in Frege's Grundlagen and in Wittgenstein's Tractatus. I will argue that Frege actually introduces non-equivalent formulations of PCtxt generating an unstable notion of meaning when related with PCmp. The Tractatus solves this imbalance by assuming both the contextuality and the compositionality at the very core of the notion of meaning, thus by ruling out the claim of two separated -sensitive to collision- principles. My thesis is that in the stage of development of the Tractatus, Wittgenstein found a way to meet and fit together the tensions between PCtxt and PCmp emerging in Frege's philosophy of language and detected by latter commentators.

Palavras-chave : principle of context; compositionality; Wittgenstein.
