Abstract

Tractatus Arboris de Philosophia Analyticae is a systematic reconstruction of analytic philosophy in the tradition of Wittgenstein's Tractatus-but one that succeeds where the Tractatus failed. Organized as thirty interconnected treatises with hierarchically numbered propositions, this work begins with Frege's insight that logical form diverges from grammatical form and builds outward to address every major philosophical domain: properties and Platonism, propositions and truth, language and thought, the limits of empiricism, Cartesian skepticism, inductive inference, causation, modality, personal identity, determinism, free will, ethics, religion, and law. Kuczynski dismantles eight major arguments against Platonism, exposes the self-refuting nature of empiricism, and demonstrates why nominalism collapses under its own weight. The result is a rigorous, integrated philosophical system constructed from first principles-philosophy done the way it should be done, with no hand-waving, no appeal to intuitions that dissolve under scrutiny, and no retreat into linguistic therapy.
