on certainty 454

454. There are cases where doubt is unreasonable, but others where it seems logically impossible. And it seems to be no clear boundary between them.

Wittgenstein doesn’t say what these cases are –

and the reason is of course –

that if he did give examples –

they would be subject  to question –

to doubt

and his carefully worded charade –

would just collapse
