'For the person or persons that hold dominion, can no more combine with the keeping up of majesty the running with harlots drunk or naked about the streets, or the performances of a stage player, or the open violation or contempt of laws passed by themselves than they can combine existence with non-existence'.

- Benedict de Spinoza. Political Treatise. 1677.

on certainty 9


9. Now do I, in the course of my life, make sure I know that here is a hand – my own hand, that is?                                                                                                                                     


how do I make sure?

do I know how ‘to make sure’?

am I certain about how to make sure?

do I make sure?

no
