on certainty 623


623. What is odd is that in such a case I always feel like saying (although it is wrong): “I know that – so far as I can know such a thing.” That is incorrect, but something right is hidden behind it.

    
                                                                                                                                
‘I know – in so far as I can know such a thing’ –

really just points to the uncertainty in any claim to knowledge

it is the unknown – that is hidden behind it
