LUDWIG
WITTGENSTEIN AND
GOD
"The good is what God
orders."
(Brand, 1979, 164)
"The meaning of life,
(I.e., the meaning of the world), we can call God. And connect with this the comparison of
God to a father. To pray is to think about the meaning of life...To believe in a God means
to see the facts of the world are not the end of the matter. To believe in God means to
see that life has a meaning."
(Ibid, 164, 165)
