on certainty 341


341. That is to say, the questions that we raise and our doubts depend on the fact that some propositions are exempt from doubt, are as it were like hinges on which those turn.



no – a question does not depend on their being certainty –

the ground of the question –

is uncertainty

any proposition is open to question –

open to doubt –

what you question – what you doubt –

will depend on what you are doing –

will depend on your circumstances –

and any decision you make here –

will be uncertain

we operate with uncertainty –

and we proceed in uncertainty
