The aim of this article is to provide a brief description of Wittgenstein's philosophy of language on the subject and the mystic, in which the concept of God takes its place. According to the philosopher, everything that is thought must also be able to be spoken in the context of language as an expression of thoughts. But there are things that cannot be thought or said, as they are beyond the borders of thought and language. This is what in Wittgenstein's philosophy is known as mystique, as something that can only be shown and cannot be talked about.
