The so-called objects in Wittgenstein's Tractates are particulars: Irving Copi first argued this thesis in his paper “Objects, Properties and Relations in the Tractates .” His argument took the form of an exclusion. There are only three metaphysical possibilities for these objects: They must be either particulars, properties or relations. The last two can be ruled out on the basis of evidence internal to the Tractates ; therefore only the first alternative remains. Consequently, the objects of the Tractates must be particulars
