Thsi leads him todiscuss contradiction in mathematics and consistency proofs . Heworks against the view that there is a sharp division between grammatical propositions and empirical prepositions . He asks usat one point to imagine a people who made no distinction betweenthe applied mathematics and pure mathematics, although they countedand calculated.

This emerges in Parts V, VI and VIII.In Part VI, published here for the first time, Wittgenstein bringstogeher the view that in mathematics proofs ae concept forming and the view that language and logic and mathematics presuppose common ways of acting and of living among the people who give thamand are convinced by them.
