on certainty 617


617. Certain events would put me into a position in which, I could not go on with the old language-game any further. In which I was torn away from the sureness of the game.

Indeed, doesn’t it seem obvious that the possibility of a language-game is conditioned by certain facts?



any language-game – is a response to uncertainty –

and as such is – uncertain –

sureness is pretence

a fact is an accepted interpretation of a state of affairs –

any interpretation is open to question –

open to doubt

that the possibility of a language-game –

is conditioned by facts –

is to say that –

the possibility of a language-game –

is conditioned by –

uncertainty
