II 214
Idea/Wittgenstein: is not something that is communicated by the words. >Ideas.
- - -
Hintikka I 239
Hintikka: his basic ideas are based on the insight that language cannot be transcended in language and thoughts cannot be transcended in thinking. ... "The thought is a symbol". >Symbols.

II 45
Def Plan/Wittgenstein: Thinking means operating with plans. The thought is not the same as the plan, because the thought needs no interpretation, the plan, on the other hand, does. >Planning.
II 59
Thinking/World/Border/Wittgenstein: what is "common" to thought and reality must be articulated through the expression of thought. You cannot express it in another sentence.
II 66
Thinking/Thought/Wittgenstein: the thought is autonomous. Example "Schmidt is sitting on the bench". You would think three things are in his mind, as a proxy. There is something true about that, too. But what guarantee would we have that they represent anything at all? What is given in my thinking is present and essential! Everything else (which is represented) is irrelevant.
That is why thinking is complete in itself. And what is not given in my thinking cannot be essential for it! The thought does not point beyond itself, we believe that only because of the way in which we use symbols. >Proxy, >Symbols.
II 186
Unconscious thoughts, conscious thoughts: the word "thoughts" is used differently depending on which of these adjectives precedes it. >Unconscious.
II 214
Thought/Wittgenstein: that a thought is communicated by words, and that it is different from the words, is a superstition.

III 134
Tractatus/Core Sentences: 3. The logical picture of facts is the thought.
4. The thought is the meaningful sentence. >Sentences, >Sense.
