O que é o Big Typescript?

Abstract

In this paper I argue, first, that we should not look at the Big Typescript as anything close to a book intended for publication. It should be taken merely as a collection of remarks that expresses Wittgenstein’s conception of ‘grammar’ around 1932-33, when the remarks were collected. Then I explain the substantial conception of ‘grammar’ of the BT. I expect to make clear in this (second) part of the paper that the BT and the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus are close in the sense of sharing the idea that language has a structure that operates according to fixed rules of sense (a calculus).
