on certainty 505


505. It is always by favour of Nature that one knows something.



‘nature’ is just one of the many names we have for the unknown

knowledge is our response to the unknown

we make knowledge – we put up proposals – propositions –

to negotiate the unknown

any proposal we put forward is uncertain –

and any description is open to question –

open to doubt
