Abstract in Portuguese
Procurando investigar as razões que justificam a ausência de uma epistemologia no Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus de Wittgenstein, o trabalho encontra na filosofia de Schopenhauer a raiz da metafísica que ele vincula à lógica. Descobre-se que esse vínculo constitui a verdadeira estratégia de dissolução do terreno no qual classicamente se constroem as epistemologias. A partir daí, duas direções são tomadas: de um lado, exploram-se certas teses centrais do Tractatus no sentido de saber se há, afinal, uma epistemologia compatível com a sua lógica; e, de outro, confrontam-se essas mesmas teses com os fundamentos de dois modelos epistemológicos clássicos: o de Russell e o de Kant. Com isso, o trabalho procura mostrar que, tanto no sentido de telos, quanto no sentido de termo, o fim da epistemologia no Tractatus marca a singularidade da obra no cenário geral da filosofia contemporânea

Abstract in English
This work investigates the reasons which justify the absence of an epistemology in Wittgensteins Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, and encounters in Schopenhauers philosophy the root of the metaphysics which Wittgenstein connects to logic. This connection is found to constitute the true strategy of dissolution of the grounds in which epistemologies are classically built. Two directions are then taken: on the one hand, certain central theses of the Tractatus are explored, in order to see whether, after all, there is an epistemology that is compatible with its logic; on the other hand, these same theses are compared with the foundations of two classical epistemological models: Russells and Kants. In this way, the work attempts to show that the end of epistemology in the Tractatus, both in the sense of telos as in the sense of finishing, marks the singularity of the book in the overall background of contemporary philosophy.
