Context

“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 [→GER | →P/M] Scepticism is not irrefutable, but palpably senseless, if it would doubt where a question cannot be asked.” source
