'For the person or persons that hold dominion, can no more combine with the keeping up of majesty the running with harlots drunk or naked about the streets, or the performances of a stage player, or the open violation or contempt of laws passed by themselves than they can combine existence with non-existence'.

- Benedict de Spinoza. Political Treatise. 1677.

on certainty 379


379.  I say with passion “I know that this is a foot” – but what does it mean?



yes –

you can say it with passion –

and perhaps the more passionate you are –

the greater the focus –

on the question –

what does it mean?

that is –

on the uncertainty –

of know
