God was conscience, Christianity not a matter of doctrine but entirely of practice, of attitude. By 1916 his reading of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, combined with his background in Schopenhauer and Weininger, had led him to a belief in God and Christianity, if in a typically abstract, almost solipsistic, way. During World War I, Wittgenstein experienced a kind of religious conversion. ![]() ![]() ![]() Gus convinces Julia to help restore Evan’s reputation, and so the “beguiling secret life of the Colebook twins” begins.
