275. If experience is the ground of our
certainty, then naturally it is past experience.
And it isn’t for example just my
experience, but other people’s, that I get my knowledge from.
Now one might say that it is experience
again that leads us to give credence to others. But what experience makes me
believe that the anatomy and physiology books don’t contain what is false?
Though it is true that this trust is backed up by my own experience.
uncertainty is the ground of our experience
knowledge is uncertain –
and it is not just
my experience –
but other people’s that I get my knowledge from
my experience is uncertain –
trust is an illusion
