Abstract
In the early Wittgenstein's Tractatus, both philosophy of logic and that of mathematics belong to the most crucial subjects of it. What is the philosophical view of the early Wittgenstein in the Tractatus? Did he, for example, accept Frege and Russell's logicism or reject it? How did he stipulate the relation between logic and mathematics? How should we, for example, interpretate "Mathematics is a method of logic."(6.234) and "The Logic of the world which the proposition of logic show in the tautologies, mathematics shows in equations."(6.22)? Furthermore, How did he grasp the relation between mathematical equations and tautologies? In this paper, I will endeavor to answer these questions.
