Abstract

The present essay discusses conceptions of language and of world based on the wittgensteinian philosophy as presented in his Tractatus Logico-philosophicus, and on Manoel de Barros’s book Liveo sobre nada. A discussion is also made on the concepts of logic, truth and figuration, with examples of poetic linguistic structures in a way to bring closer philosophical proposition and literary creation.
