on certainty 595


595. But I can imagine someone making all these connections, and none of them corresponding with reality. Why shouldn’t I be in a similar case?”

If I imagine such a person I also imagine a reality, a world that surrounds him; and I imagine him as thinking (and speaking) in contradiction to this world.



what is real is what is proposed

and whether a proposition functions or not –

whether it gains assent or not –

is uncertain
