on certainty 68


68. The question is: what is the logician to say here?



the logician would say 

that what we have 

in the above example –

is two different accounts –

of the one state of affairs

the logician would also say 

that what counts as true –

is what is assented to –

and that what counts as false –

is what is dissented from

and further –

the logician would say 

independent of any account –

the state of affairs –

is unknown

therefore –

any account offered –

is uncertain
