Abstract
This paper explores some differences and potential analogies between Kant and Wittgenstein's philosophic conception of formal logic. First, I show Kant's philosophic conception of logic. After, I'll do the proper considering the Tractatus of Wittgenstein. In a third moment, I'll try to realize a contrast between the two conceptions, pointing out the connections between understanding, logic and language. I expect that this analysis may help us to value the philosophic dimension of formal logic in both kantian and wittgenstenian philosophies and, indirectly, in philosophy in general.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
