373. Why is it supposed to be possible to
have grounds for believing something
if it isn’t possible to be certain?
yes –
there are no grounds to knowledge or belief
–
what we have is assertion
and the underwriting – of assertion
these underwritings –
or secondary propositions –
are nothing more than rhetorical devices or
props –
the point of which is to pretend a security
–
for the primary assertion
and on the basis of this pretence
to persuade of the significance –
or importance
of the primary assertion
