'For the person or persons that hold dominion, can no more combine with the keeping up of majesty the running with harlots drunk or naked about the streets, or the performances of a stage player, or the open violation or contempt of laws passed by themselves than they can combine existence with non-existence'.

- Benedict de Spinoza. Political Treatise. 1677.

on certainty 501


501. Am I getting closer and closer to saying that in the end logic cannot be described? You must look at the practice of language, then you will see it.



logic is description –

description of language use

there is no definite description

of any language use –

of any language practise

any description – any logic –

is limited – is uncertain

in the absence of –

description –

any practice is –

unknown
