on certainty 608


608. Is it wrong for me to be guided in my actions by the propositions of physics? Am I to say I have no good ground for doing so? Isn’t precisely this what we call a ‘good ground’?



there is no right or wrong here –

if you find the propositions of physics useful –

you will be guided by them –

if you don’t find them useful

you won’t be guided by them

and whatever proposition you use –

or are guided by –

that proposition – that proposal

is open to question –

is open to doubt –

is uncertain

as for ‘ground’ –

the ground of any proposition –

any propositional action –

is uncertainty
