532. So when Moore sat in front
of tree and said “I know that that is a tree”, he was simply stating the truth

[I do philosophy now like an old woman who
is always mislaying something and having to look for it again: now her
spectacles now her keys.]
if he was claiming to know – and being
genuine – he was deluded –
if not deluded – and claiming to know – he was
involved in deception
[doing philosophy is not mislaying what you
have found and looking for it –
it is not knowing what you will find when
you look]
