Tractatus logico-philosophicus

A philosophical work by Ludwig Wittgenstein

4.123

A property is internal if it is unthinkable that its object does not possess it. (This bright blue colour and that stand in the internal relation of bright and darker eo ipso. It is unthinkable that these two objects should not stand in this relation.) (Here to the shifting use of the words “property” and “relation” there corresponds the shifting use of the word “object”.)
