RESUMO
The subject of this work is the notion of "transcendental" as applied to ethics in Wittgenstein s Tractatus, according to the aphorism 6.421. We try to understand in which sense Wittgenstein can say there that ethics is "transcendental". To that end, we begin with a study of the "picture theory" of meaning in the Tractatus, stressing the distinction between what can and what cannot be said. After that, we examine the notion of "metaphysical subject" as what makes possible that propositions of language get their senses through the projection of the elements of the language in the world. Finally, we turn to the notion of "limits" of the world and the language, and investigate several interpretations of the nature of those limits, trying to show the unit between ethics and logic in the Tractatus by means of Weininger s influence in Wittgenstein s thought
