DESCRIPTION:*Title: Wittgenstein's Fundamental Thought\n\n*Abstract: That
  Wittgenstein was committed to the principle of ‘bipolarity’ during his 
 early period is a claim which enjoys widespread agreement among scholars
  not inclined to read this period ‘resolutely’. On a commonly accepted r
 eading\, the principle states that it is constitutive of something’s pos
 sessing a sense that it be both capable of being true and capable of bei
 ng false. Commitment to the principle of bipolarity\, therefore\, occasi
 ons a revisionary stance towards expressions which do not meet its requi
 rements\; on the view that the principle of bipolarity is true\, entire 
 domains of discourse risk relegation to some rank other than the sensibl
 e. Insofar as commitment to the principle of bipolarity incurs revisiona
 ry consequences\, it is a good question what justification Wittgenstein 
 had for adopting it. In this discussion I aim to examine Wittgenstein’s 
 motivation for subscribing to the principle in question.
