497. If someone wanted to arouse doubts in me and spoke like
this: here your memory is deceiving you, there you’ve been taken in, there
again you have not been thorough enough in satisfying yourself, etc., and if I
did not allow myself to be shaken but kept to my certainty – then my doing so
cannot be wrong, even if only because this is just what defines a game.
someone arousing doubts –
and someone else sticking to their certainty –
is just the rhetorical
game
the logic of the situation is –
any proposal – any proposition –
is open to question –
open to doubt –
is uncertain
