In general, it is clear that Wittgenstein's objects have their origins in Russellian objects of acquaintance. According to Russell's theory of acquaintance, to be acquainted with something means that something is presented to one's mind or that one is directly aware of something. When we say we know something by acquaintance, we have not laid a claim to truth. We can know something by 26 CHAPTER II acquaintance without knowing whether it is true or false. , when I am directly aware of the object itself.

Indeed, this idea reveals the phenomenological characteristic implicit in the Tractatus. , the entire logic of how the world is. Thus, the possibility of understanding the entire logical structure of the world can be found in immediate experience. Another evidence in Wittgenstein' s own words supports our idea that the naming relation is a pointing relation. ,,26 Of course, this idea would be further developed as ostensive definition playing only a part within the system of language-games. However, at the same time, we can directly see what went wrong with his ideas in the Tractatus: namely, he once thought that 'this' and 'that' were names in a pointing relation with objects.

Indeed, this is a strange variation of Russell's ideas. Wittgenstein's position is that we need not be acquainted with logical forms. Yet, once objects are given, logical forms are also given at the same time. By means of experiencing objects, we automatically experience logical forms too. But certainly it is not experience in the sense of what we can call 'logical experience' as Russell called it. All that is needed in order to understand logic is to experience objects, and not logic. In other 32 CHAPTER II words, objects must be given in immediate experience.
