on certainty 656


656. And one can not say that of the proposition that I am called L.W. Nor of the proposition that such-and-such people have calculated such-and-such a problem correctly.



nor in fact of any mathematical proposition

Wittgenstein confuses ‘incontestability’ –

with how a proposition may be used

a proposition may well be used uncritically –

but this is not to say that it is beyond doubt

that it is beyond question
