Tractatus logico-philosophicus

A philosophical work by Ludwig Wittgenstein

3.317

The determination of the values of the propositional variable is done by indicating the propositions whose common mark the variable is. The determination is a description of these propositions. The determination will therefore deal only with symbols not with their meaning. And only this is essential to the determination, that it is only a description of symbols and asserts nothing about what is symbolized. The way in which we describe the propositions is not essential.
