The Facts in Logical Space: A Tractarian Ontology

Jason Turner (University of Arizona)

Philosophers have long been tempted by the idea that objects and properties are abstractions from the facts. But how is this abstraction supposed to go? If the objects and properties aren’t ‘already’ there, how do the facts give rise to them? Jason Turner develops and defends a novel answer to this question: The facts are arranged in a quasi-geometric ‘logical space’, and objects and properties arise from different quasi-geometric structures in this space.
