Context
“The facts all belong only to the task and not to its performance.
6.44 OGD [→GER | →P/M]
Not how the world is, is the mystical, but that it is.
6.45 OGD [→GER | →P/M]
The contemplation of the world sub specie aeterni is its contemplation as a limited whole.
The feeling that the world is a limited whole is the mystical feeling.
6.5 OGD [→GER | →P/M]
For an answer which cannot be expressed the question too cannot be expressed.
The riddle does not exist.
If a question can be put at all, then it can also be answered.
6.51 OGD”
