321. Isn’t what I’m saying: any empirical
proposition can be transformed into a postulate – and then becomes a norm of
description. But I am suspicious even of this. The sentence is too general. One
almost wants to say “any empirical proposition can, theoretically, be
transformed…”, but what does “theoretically” mean here? It sounds all too
reminiscent of the Tractatus.
a proposition has no immanent value –
how it is characterized – will depend on
how it is used –
and here there will be no definite
description –
there will only be a working description –
and any such description – if it is working
–
will be uncertain
