About this Quote

In this quote, Ludwig Wittgenstein is recommending that reasoning is not a set of beliefs or concepts, but rather a reflection of the world around us. He argues that logic is transcendental, implying that it is a fundamental idea that underlies all of our experiences and perceptions. In other words, reasoning is not something we discover, but rather something that is natural and intrinsic in the very nature of our presence. Wittgenstein is basically saying that we can understand the world and understand it due to the fact that the guidelines of reasoning are currently embedded within our minds.
