on certainty 618

618. In that game it would seem as if the language-game must ‘show’ the facts that make it possible. (But that’s not how it is.)

Then can one say that only a certain regularity in occurrences makes induction possible? The ‘possible’ would of course have to be ‘logically possible’.

the language game is the showing –

the language-game is the game of proposals –

‘facts’ are accepted  proposals –

proposals – accepted or not –

are uncertain

‘a certain regularity in occurrence’ –

is a description of how things are –

any description –is open to question –

open to doubt

if the basis of induction –

is the description –

‘a certain regularity in occurrence’

then the basis of induction –

is uncertainty
