'For the person or persons that hold dominion, can no more combine with the keeping up of majesty the running with harlots drunk or naked about the streets, or the performances of a stage player, or the open violation or contempt of laws passed by themselves than they can combine existence with non-existence'.

- Benedict de Spinoza. Political Treatise. 1677.

on certainty 272

272. I know = I am familiar with it as a certainty.



whatever the supposed ‘certainty’ is –

it will be open to question – open to doubt –

and therefore –

I know = I am familiar with it as an uncertainty
