Hintikka I 126
Is/Tractatus/Wittgenstein/Hintikka: the "is" of predication is treated as in Frege and Russell, while the "is" of identity disappears and the "is" of the existence quantifier is traced back to truth functions.
More precisely: in the Tractatus the existence of types of objects is expressed by the existence quantifier and this is then attributed to the disjunction.
In contrast, the existence of a specific object cannot be articulated. >Existence statements.
