on certainty 439

439. Even the statement “I know that behind this door is a landing and the stairway down to the ground floor” only sounds so convincing because everyone takes it for granted that I know it.

that is to say no-one questions it

if that is the case –

on this view –

knowledge –

is what is not questioned –

and therefore

knowledge is –

ignorance
