105. All testing, all confirmation and disconfirmation of a hypothesis takes place already within a system. And this system is not a more or less arbitrary and doubtful point of departure for all our arguments: no it belongs to the essence of what we call an argument. The system is not so much the point of departure, as the element in which arguments have their life.
either the argument ‘takes place already within a system’ –
and the argument then is a function or expression of the system
or the system ‘belongs to the essence of what we call an argument’
and the system then is a function and expression of the argument?
what’s it to be?
