Abstract
Philosophy aims at the logical clarification of thoughts. Philosophy i s not a body of doctrine but an activity. Philosophy does not result i n 'philosophical propositions', but rather in the clarification of pro positions. Without philosophy thoughts are, as it were, cloudy and ind istinct: its task is to make them clear and to give them sharp boundar ies (Wittgenstein 1921, Paragraph 4.112).
