261. I cannot at present imagine a
reasonable doubt as to the existence of the earth during the last 100 years.
a ‘reasonable’ doubt – is what?
one that is sanctioned – as reasonable
perhaps –
if Wittgenstein dropped this constraint –
of reasonableness –
and thought outside of this box –
he might imagine – a doubt?
but if not –
‘I cannot at present imagine….’ –
is fair enough –
it leaves the matter open –
as it should be
