on certainty 525

525. What, then, does the case look like where someone really has a different relationship to the names of colours, for example, from us? Where, that is, there persists a slight doubt or a possibility of doubt in their use.



what does this look like?

it looks like a state of affairs –

where presumption and prejudice –

are defeated by difference

and where doubt makes obvious –

that the ground of our language use –

is uncertainty
