"The limits of my language

Logic fills the world: the limits

We cannot therefore say in logic:

For that would apparently presuppose
that we exclude certain possibilities,
and this cannot be the case since
otherwise logic must get outside
the limits of the world:
that is, if it could consider these
limits from the other side also.
What we cannot think,
that we cannot think:
we cannot therefore say
what we cannot think."
