God/Divine Viewpoint/Wittgenstein/Hintikka: if God looked into our heads, he would find the feelings, but not the reference. Hintikka: in the examples where he cannot see anything, it is about meaning. (>Intentions), >World, >Limits.
II 110

IV 114
God/Tractatus: 6,432 The nature of the world is completely indifferent to the higher. God does not reveal himself in the world. >Religious belief.
VII 115

Wittgenstein orally: "I am not a religious person, but I cannot help it: I see every problem from a religious point of view" (according to Maurice O'Connor Drury, (Malcolm 1993(1), Rhees 1987(2), p., 121)).
