Eileen Quinlan Reading 5.61: Logic Pervades the World: the Limits of the World Are Also Its Limits. So We Cannot Say in Logic, 'The World Has This in It, and This, but Not That.' For That Would Appear to Presuppose That We Were Excluding Certain Possibilities, and This Cannot Be the Case, Since It Would Require That Logic Should Go Beyond the Limits of the World; for Only in That Way Could It View Those Limits From the Other Side As Well. We Cannot Think What We Cannot Think; So What Cannot Think We Cannot Say Either
