240. What is the belief that all human
beings have parents based on? On experience. And how can I base this sure
belief on my experience? Well, I base it not only on the fact that I have known
parents of certain people but on everything that I have learnt about the sexual
life of human beings and their anatomy and physiology: also on what I have
heard and seen of animals. But then is that really a proof?
experience is uncertain –
and so we have uncertain knowledge –
and no proof
