410. Our knowledge forms an enormous
system. And only within this system has a particular bit the value we give it.
a proposition – be it a ‘bit’ of a system –
or the proposition that is the system – has two possible values – true or false
and this means you can assent to it – or
you can dissent from it –
you act on it – or you don’t act on it
what we deal with is propositions –
not knowledge –
and our propositions are uncertain –
be they in an ‘enormous system’ –
or not
