Resumen

Este artículo investiga la metáfora de la vestimenta en el Tractatus–Logico–Philosophicus de Wittgenstein en 4.002. Tomo en cuenta los antecedentes y orígenes de 4.002, en particular, el cuarto parágrafo que contiene la metáfora y también sugiero y argumento a favor de posibles textos fuentes para el tercero y cuarto parágrafo. En particular, tomo en cuenta fuentes tempranos para el Tractatus como “Notes on Logic” y los Diarios 1914–1916, cartas, y otros manuscritos, en particular MS104 y el Prototractatus donde la metáfora aparece en las observaciones 4.0014 & 4.00141. Se discute el lugar de la metáfora en otros contextos de las elucidaciones de los manuscritos tempranos. También tomo en cuenta usos parecidos de la metáfora presentes en las obras de Hertz, Boltzmann, Frege, Kraus y otros. Algunos de estos textos y posibles influencias son más convincentes que aquellos previamente invocados o reconocidos en la literatura. Se discuten las apariencias de la metáfora en la obra de estos autores y su posible influencia en la obra de Wittgenstein.
