places at the same time cannot be identical. (It
is clear that the logical product of two elementary propositions can
neither be a tautology nor a contradiction. The statement that a point
in the visual field has two different colours at the same time is a
contradiction.)

6.4 All propositions are of equal value.

6.41 The sense of the world must lie outside the world. In the world
everything is as it is, and everything happens as it does happen: in it
no value exists--and if it did exist, it would have no value. If there
is any value that does have value, it must lie outside the whole sphere
of what happens and is the case. For all that happens and is the case
is accidental. What makes it non-accidental cannot lie within the world,
since if it did it would itself be accidental. It must lie outside the
world.

6.42 So too it is impossible for there to be propositions of ethics.
Propositions can express nothing that is higher.

6.421 It is clear that ethics cannot be put into words. Ethics is
transcendental. (Ethics and aesthetics are one and the same.)

6.422 When an ethical law of the form, 'Thou shalt...' is laid down,
one's first thought is, 'And what if I do, not do it?' It is clear,
however, that ethics has nothing to do with punishment and reward in the
usual sense of the terms. So our question about the consequences of an
action must be unimportant.--At least those consequences should not be
events. For there must be something right about the question we posed.
There must indeed be some kind of ethical reward and ethical punishment,
but they must reside in the action itself. (And it is also clear that
the reward must be something pleasant and the punishment something
unpleasant.)

6.423 It is impossible to speak about the will in so far as it is
the subject of ethical attributes. And the will as a phenomenon is of
interest only to psychology.

6.43 If the good or bad exercise of the will does alter the world, it
can alter only the limits of the world, not the facts--not what can
be expressed by means of language. In short the effect must be that it
becomes an altogether different world. It must, so to speak, wax and
wane as a whole. The world of the happy man is a different one from that
of the unhappy man.

6.431 So too at death the world does not alter, but comes to an end.

6.4311 Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience
death. If we take eternity to mean not inf
