Answer: For example, "1+1=2" is a nonsensical proposition. Wittgenstein wrote in Tractatus Logico Philosophicus that some of the propositions contained in his own book should be regarded as nonsense. ... In the name of nonsense, it is finally refused the conception of duality and the Aristotelian formal logic.
