on certainty 94


94. But I did not get my picture of the world by satisfying myself of its correctness; nor do I have it because I am satisfied of its correctness. No: it is the inherited background against which I distinguish true and false.



you picture of the world is never stable – is never certain –

‘inherited background’ is an element of this uncertainty –

and is itself open to question – open to doubt
