Shining and Showing
-
Christina Weiss
Abstract
The terms shining (Hegel) and showing (Wittgenstein) express similar ideas about the modelling of negation as negation and relation as relation. Reconstructing the theories of form presented in the Doctrine of Essence and the Tractatus reveals a surprising degree of similarity between Hegel’s and Wittgenstein’s ideas on logical form. These conceptual similarities are not limited to general ideas but extend into basic logical concepts such as variable or function.
