on certainty 537

537. Can one say of one who hasn’t this concept that he knows what such-and such is called? 

‘one who hasn’t got this concept’ –

comes down to –

one who doesn’t use this description –

does not apply it to his actions

can we say of such a one –

that he doesn’t know –

what such and such is called?

if that’s what ‘know’ –

amounts to for you –

yes you can say that

and in that case –

you would have to get used to the fact –

that someone who doesn’t know –

nevertheless –

makes the call
