The sense of the world must lie outside the world [Wittgenstein]
     Full Idea: The sense of the world must lie outside the world.
     From: Ludwig Wittgenstein (Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus [1921], 6.41)
     A reaction: Since I don't believe that anything 'lies outside the world' I can't make sense of this. He implies that the Self lies outside of the world (to the point of solipsism), so I suppose that's it.
