'For the person or persons that hold dominion, can no more combine with the keeping up of majesty the running with harlots drunk or naked about the streets, or the performances of a stage player, or the open violation or contempt of laws passed by themselves than they can combine existence with non-existence'.

- Benedict de Spinoza. Political Treatise. 1677.

on certainty 627


627. Wouldn’t one have to insert this clause into all language-games? (Which shows its senselessness)

is that the claim of certainty –

is an irrelevant distraction –

in any language-game
