A truth-function is any function taking a finite list of truth-values as arguments and producing a truth-value as its result. In the Notes, Wittgenstein chose to call them ‘ab-functions’. This chapter describes the notations Wittgenstein used at various times for describing a truth-function. Since the eventual aim will be to discuss the relationship between a logical connective and the corresponding truth-function, it will be sensible to distinguish notationally between the two.

Keywords:   Wittgenstein, ab-functions, truth-tables, truth-diagrams
