The aim of this dissertation is to discuss the problem of infinite divisibility of bodies, a problem which was already discussed in the classic period by Aristotle and his analysis of Zeno’s paradoxes. Our working hypothesis is that in the Tractatus-Logico-Philosophicus Wittgenstein has offered a reformulation of this very problem when he discusses the process of analysis of propositions. One of the central thesis in the Tractatus is that all ordinary proposition can be completely analyzed and that this process of analysis has to be finite. Based on that, we argue that it necessarily follows that the elements present in the state of affairs described by the proposition cannot be further divided since the analysis of the proposition which describes such a state is necessarily finite.
