on certainty 473


473. Just as in writing we learn a particular basic form of letters and then vary it later, so we learn first the stability of things as the norm, which is then subject to alterations.



I would say we learn to operate with a basic form of letters –

and it doesn’t follow from that –

that we learn ‘the stability of things as the norm’

or indeed the instability of things –

we come to a view on these matters –

when the question arises or the question is put

and any view we come to –

will be open to question –

open to doubt
