on certainty 318

12.3.51

318.  ‘The question doesn’t arise at all.’ Its answer would characterize a method. But there is no sharp boundary between methodological propositions and propositions within a method.

the question arises – if the question is asked –

and if its answer –

would characterize a method –

then presumably the question –

would be a question of method

and yes –

‘there is no sharp boundary between methodological propositions and propositions within a method’

it’s all a question of context and use

every proposition characterizes a method –

a way of going about things

and any proposition can be a proposition within a method

within a propositional framework

if what you are doing involves a number of propositions –

how you organize –

will determine which proposition – as it were – leads –

or underpins –

and which propositions – follow –

or function as support

what is what here –

will be determined by the task at hand –

and might well be a fluid matter –

any working propositional organization

will be open to question –

open to doubt –

propositional conception and action –

gets its vitality –

from uncertainty
