'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 408


408. For if someone says he knows such-and-such, and this is part of his philosophy – then his philosophy is false if he has slipped up in his statement.



if he makes this claim to know – and it is part of his philosophy –

then his philosophy is false
