on certainty 16

16. “If I know something, then I also know that I know it, etc” amounts to: “I know that” means “I am incapable of being wrong about that.” But whether I am so must admit of being established objectively.

if you know with certainty –

you are incapable of being wrong

if the matter is to be established –

it must be put to the  question –

and if so – being objective –

is recognizing uncertainty –

for questioning –

presupposes uncertainty

in an uncertain reality –

there is no right and wrong –

what you have –

is uncertain knowledge –

knowledge that is always –

open to question –

open to doubt
