First sentence: The first section of this chapter takes advantage of the opportunity offered by a few propositions of Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to pose some of the questions to be pursued throughout the succeeding sections in the context of what has been said by a selection of earlier and later philosophers about representation in language or, as we shall eventually find reason to write, "representation" in language.
