Tractatus logico-philosophicus

A philosophical work by Ludwig Wittgenstein

5.43

That from a fact p an infinite number of others should follow, namely, ~~p, ~~~~p, etc., is indeed hardly to be believed, and it is no less wonderful that the infinite number of propositions of logic (of mathematics) should follow from half a dozen “primitive propositions”. But the propositions of logic say the same thing. That is, nothing.
