This article aims to identify the ethical and axiological problem in early Wittgenstein. This research topic has already been worked by Augusto Salazar Bondy in his book Para una filosofía del valor (2010). We will begin by describing some basic concepts of the Tractatus logico-philosophicus. For example, what is a thing, a state of a thing and a fact. In addition, the concept of the meaning of facts, the function of logic as a principle of figuration and Wittgenstenian transcendentality. For the author of the Tractatus, facts lack any sense other than the sense of being the disposition of things among themselves. Therefore, any other sense that is predicated of facts must reside outside the world. That other sense of facts is ethical statements. On the other hand, according to Wittgenstein, logic is transcendental; since it is not possible to identify it within the world of facts. But ...

The article analyzes the problem of transcendental ethics in Wittgenstein’s work, particularly in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. According to Wittgenstein, the meaning of propositions lies in their relation to facts, that is, in their capacity to represent true or false logical configurations. Statements that do not correspond to facts are situated outside the world and the logical space. In this framework, aphorism 6.421 states that ethics is transcendental because it does not address any facts of the world. Moral and value judgments, not being rooted in logical space, cannot constitute propositions in the Wittgensteinian sense. However, this does not imply that they lack meaning (sinnlos). On the contrary, such judgments influence the configuration of the facts that constitute the subject. The aim of the article is, therefore, twofold: first, to identify the meaning of moral and...
