on certainty 313

313. So is that what makes us believe a proposition? Well – the grammar of “believe” just does hang together with the grammar of the proposition believed.

so does the fact that a proposition  –

connects up with another or other beliefs –

make us believe it?

the point is this –

if you want to make a connection –

you can – you will find a way –

connecting propositions –

is just a logical action

it really has nothing to do with belief

you will believe a proposition –

if it works for you –

and you won’t if it doesn’t –

but here we are talking about use –

and circumstance

so belief is always –

an uncertain matter
