on certainty 169

169. One might think that there were propositions declaring chemistry is possible. And these would be propositions of a natural science. For what should they be supported by, if not by experience?

whether chemistry is possible or not –

would I think be –

an odd argument to witness –

but any claim is open to question –

open to doubt

as to what supports the propositions of chemistry –

if your argument is ‘experience’ –

then clearly –

the ‘support’ for the propositions of chemistry is –

uncertain
