Abstract

The use of the open and searchable Wittgenstein’s Nachlass (The Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen (WAB)) has proved instrumental in the quest for a common thread of Wittgenstein’s view on the connections between meaning, use and consequences, going from the Notebooks to later writings (including the Philosophical Investigations) and beyond. Here we take this as the basis for a proposal for a formal counterpart of a ‘meaning-as-use’ (dialogical/game-theoretical) semantics for the language of predicate logic. In order to further consolidate this perspective, we shall need to bring in key excerpts from Wittgenstein oeuvre (including the Nachlass) and from those formal semanticists who advocate a different perspective on the connections between proofs and meaning. With this in mind we consider several passages from Wittgenstein’s published as well as unpublished writings to build a whole picture of a formal counterpart to ‘meaning is use’ based on the idea that explanations of consequences via ‘movements within language’ ought to be taken as a central aspect to Wittgenstein’s shift from ‘interpretation of symbols in a state of affairs’ to ‘use of symbols’ which underpins his ‘meaning is use’ paradigm. As in the Investigations “every interpretation hangs in the air together with what it interprets, and cannot give it any support. Interpretations by themselves do not determine meaning”, as well as in a remark from his transitional period (1929–30): Perhaps one should say that the expression “interpretation of symbols” is misleading and one should instead say “the use of symbols”. Significantly, we wish the present examination of the searchable Nachlass can make a relevant step towards a formal counterpart to the “meaning is use” dictum, while highlighting an important common thread from Wittgenstein’s very early to very late writings. For this we focus here on the themes of explanation of consequences, movements within language, moving away from states of affairs, meaning versus verification.

Part of the material reported here was presented in a talk entitled ‘Explanation of Consequences via Movements within Language’ at the VIII Brazilian Society for Analytic Philosophy Conference, 22–26 July 2024 https://sites.google.com/view/sbfa-sbpha/olinda-2024_1, Academia Santa Gertrudes, Olinda, Pernambuco, Brazil. Thanks to Marcos Silva for the kind invitation to give a presentation as a keynote speaker. We have made intensive use of Wittgenstein’s Nachlass much more than it was done in any previous publications. Thus, as a new step in a series of essays going back a few decades, it contains some overlap with the previous publications intended to bring context and self-containedness to the present manuscript, this substantially reinforces earlier arguments (Gratitude to the editors of Wittgenstein Archives at the University of Bergen (WAB) who has rewarded Wittgenstein scholarship with such an immense gift as the Nachlass in free online and searchable form!).

Acknowledgements

First and foremost, we acknowledge the role of Marcos Silva (UFPE), the main organiser of VIII Brazilian Society for Analytic Philosophy Conference, 22-26 July 2024 https://sites.google.com/view/sbfa-sbpha/olinda-2024_1, Academia Santa Gertrudes, Olinda, Pernambuco, Brazil, who kindly presented us with an invitation to give a keynote talk. This served as additional stimulus to write this paper, which, in turn led us to new findings in Wittgenstein’s Nachlass. Last, but not least, thanks and much appreciation to the anonymous reviewer for the scholarly, careful and competent assessment of the paper.

Appendix: Reduction Rules and Dialogue/Games Semantics

The renewed examination of Wittgenstein’s Nachlass presented here supports and augments the significance of Wittgenstein’s suggestion that meaning is determined by explicating immediate consequences of a statement or term. These new findings counter the claim that the so-called Gentzen-Dummett-Prawitz-Martin-Löf ‘meaning as determined by assertability conditions/introduction rules’ are properly designated as ‘Wittgensteinian views’. Instead, these passages strongly suggest connections with the “pragmatist”/“dialogical” approaches to meaning, already in Peirce’s writings on the interaction between the Interpreter and the Utterer, which likewise appear to bear upon the “game”/“dialogue” approaches to meaning (Lorenzen, Hintikka, Fraïssé). The Inversion Principle (advocated by Gentzen and Prawitz) also appears to have the same kind of “metalevel” explication of meaning as those game/dialogical approaches, including Tarski’s “metalanguage” approach. Hence in Natural Deduction, the reduction rules (which formalise the Inversion Principle) should be seen as meaning-giving, not a mere justification of the elimination rule(s) based on the introduction rule(s). The reduction rules of labelled natural deduction extends this approach to ‘Identity types’ which correspond to propositional equality. Significantly, the present examination of these materials make an important step towards a formal counterpart to the “meaning is use” dictum, while highlighting an important common thread from Wittgenstein’s very early to very late writings.

There are at least two well-established non-truth-theoretic semantics dealing with the interface of meaning, knowledge, and logic in the context of dialogues, games, or more generally interaction. One of these is also an alternative perspective on proof theory and meaning theory, advocating that Wittgenstein’s “meaning as use” paradigm, as understood in the context of proof theory, by which the so-called reduction rules (showing the workings of elimination rules on the result of introduction rules) should be seen as appropriate to formalise the explanation of the (immediate) consequences one can draw from a proposition, thus to show the function/purpose/usefulness of its main connective in the calculus of language. To recall D. Prawitz’ Natural Deduction (1965) original formulation: ‘reduction steps’ are defined as rules which operate on proofs, thus they constitute ‘metalevel’ rules rather than ‘object level’ rules. This suggests they can indeed be seen as playing a ‘semantical’ role, in analogy to several other definitions (Tarski’s truth conditions, Lorenzen’s dialogical rules, Hintikka’s game semantics rules, Abelard-Eloïse evaluation game rules.

Previously we have pointed out parallels between our proposal and other approaches to the semantics of logical connectives based on explaining the (immediate) consequences of the corresponding proposition, such as Lorenzen’s (1950, 1955, 1969, p. 25) dialogical games and Hintikka 1968, 1979, p. 3) semantical games. The general underlying principle is the logical Inversion Principle, uncovered by Gentzen, and later by Lorenzen: the elimination procedure is the exact inverse of the introduction, therefore all that can be asked from an assertion is what is indicated explaining the elimination procedure. One can look at Lorenzen’s dialogical games and try to show how the Inversion Principle resides in the game-approach by comparing it to the reduction-based account of meaning. The correspondence works as follows: (i) the assertion corresponds to the introduction rule(s) (and the respective constructors); (ii) the attacks correspond to the elimination rule(s) (and the respective destructors); (iii) the set of defenses correspond to the reduction rules (the effect of elimination rules on the result of introduction rules); (iv) the relation specifying for each attack the corresponding defense(s) are defined by the result of reduction rules.

Taking from the rules of reduction between proofs in a system of Natural Deduction enriched with terms alongside formulas, such as in the so-called Curry-Howard interpretation (Howard (1980)) of which Martin-Löf’s type theory can be seen as an instance, and isolating the terms corresponding the derivations, one can draw the following parallels: Looking at the conclusion of reduction inference rules, one can take the destructor as being the Attack (or ‘Nature’, its counterpart in the terminology of Hintikka’s Game-Theoretical Semantics), and the constructor as being the Assertion (or Hintikka’s ‘Myself’). This way the game-theoretic explanations of logical connectives find direct counterpart in the functional interpretation with the semantics of convertibility:

In REWR(r(u, v), σt.d(t)) the destructor has no choice regarding the ‘reason’ for u being equal to v, since r will have been chosen by the time of the assertion, i.e. the application of the introduction rule.

Drawing these parallels is intended to exhibit a connection with the “pragmatist”/“dialogical” approaches to meaning as revealed in Peirce’s writings on the interaction between the Interpreter and the Utterer which seem to pertain to the “game”/“dialogue” approaches to meaning (Lorenzen, Hintikka, Ehrenfeucht-Fraïssé.
