Abstract
I discuss the merits of an argument (which can already be found in Wittgenstein's Tractatus) against the existence of necessary facts, i.e. of propositions that are both necessary and true a posteriori. I examine different strategies aiming to invalidate the argument. I show that no strategy is entirely successful.
