Abstract

The present paper concerns the Wittgenstein ontology project: an attempt to create a Semantic Web representation of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy. The project has been in development since 2006, and its current state enables users to search for information about Wittgenstein-related documents and the documents themselves. However, the developers have much more ambitious goals: they attempt to provide a philosophical subject matter knowledge base that would comprise the claims and concepts formulated by the philosopher. The current knowledge representation technology is not well-suited for this task, and a non-standard approach is required. The creators of the Wittgenstein ontology project are aware of this fact; recently, they have been discussing conceptual devices adjusting the technology to their needs. The main goal of this paper is to present examples of a representation of philosophical content that make use of both the devices already proposed and some new inventions. The represented content comes from the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus; more specifically, its theses concerning the problems in philosophy of mathematics.

走向维特根斯坦哲学的计算本体论:特拉坎数学哲学的代表方面

本文关注维特根斯坦本体论项目:试图创建维特根斯坦哲学的语义网表示。该项目自2006年以来一直在开发中，目前的状态使用户可以搜索有关维特根斯坦相关文档和文档本身的信息。然而，开发人员有更远大的目标:他们试图提供一个哲学主题知识基础，其中包含哲学家提出的主张和概念。目前的知识表示技术并不适合这项任务，需要一种非标准的方法。维特根斯坦本体论计划的创造者意识到了这一事实;最近，他们一直在讨论调整技术以满足他们需求的概念性设备。本文的主要目的是提出一种哲学内容表示的例子，它既利用了已经提出的设备，也利用了一些新的发明。所代表的内容来自于《逻辑哲学论》;更具体地说，它的论文涉及数学哲学问题。

期刊介绍： «Analysis and Existence» is a quarterly published in paper version (the basic version) and electronically (in Open Access system); licence CC BY-SA. The Journal is included in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). The Journal has been published since 2005, at the beginning twice a year, and since 2011 as a quarterly. Since 2007 the Journal has been listed in the DOAJ, since 2015 in the European Reference Index for the Humanities (ERIH PLUS), and since 2016 in the SCOPUS. The Journal has been publishing articles in Polish, English and German. In 2017 there were 40 volumes of the Journal «Analysis and Existence». Among the authors who have published their articles in the Journal there were such celebrities as Rae Langton, Graham Oppy, Wlodek Rabinowicz, Richard Rorty, John Skorupski, Richard Swinburne, and Michael Teunissen. We invite to cooperate with the Journal all the scholars who investigate existential problems, as well as the ones who concentrate on analysis and arguments. We aspire to a philosophy that is solid and reliable as much as possible, a philosophy that deals with important existential questions. We proceed only papers submitted on this webside by "Suggest article".
