One of the most decisive problems when we are to systematically understand the middle Wittgenstein’s philosophy is how the concept of complete analysis stipulated in the Tractatus was transformed and modified. Bearing in mind that complete analysis has an indispensable relation with elementary proposition in the Tractatus and that the color exclusion problem which was decisive in the collapse of the Tractatus has an essential relation with elementary proposition, we can trace out the whereabouts of the concept of complete analysis in the middle Wittgenstein’s philosophy by way of the color exclusion problem. What is then the color exclusion problem? Why was that problem so fatal to the system of the Tractatus? How did the middle Wittgenstein solve this problem and furthermore how was the concept of complete analysis transformed and modified? In this paper, I will endeavor to answer these questions surrounding the color exclusion problem and complete analysis by focusing on the Tractatus and “Some Remarks on Logical Form”.
