In an openly ironic tone, Wittgenstein argues against the antiquated views of the author and the inaccuracies of the logical notions he expresses, some of which – such as the subject-predicate form of the proposition, the relationship between thought and reality, and the logical-semantic function of the verb “to be” – will have an important development in Wittgenstein’s own later works. | ||

According to Rush Rhees, in 1929 Wittgenstein's disciple Maurice O'Connor Drury (1907-1976) procured and read to his mentor passages from the English anthropologist Sir James George Frazer's (1854-1941) ''The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion'' (in the 12-volume edition of 1906-1915). Wittgenstein drew from the reading a series of notes in German during 1931, and then revised and expanded them later, later then 1936 and probably after 1948. Rhees incorporated the set of notes on Frazer for publication in 1967 in the German journal ''Synthese''. The published text brings together extracts of Wittgenstein's ''Nachlass'' Ms-110, Ts-211 and Ms-143. | According to Rush Rhees, in 1929 Wittgenstein's disciple Maurice O'Connor Drury (1907-1976) procured and read to his mentor passages from the English anthropologist Sir James George Frazer's (1854-1941) ''The Golden Bough: A Study in Magic and Religion'' (in the 12-volume edition of 1906-1915).
