Part 1
The proposition and its sense
1.‘How can one talk
of ‘understanding’ and ‘not understanding’ a proposition?
Surely it is not a
proposition until it’s understood?
a proposition is a
proposal – open to question – open to doubt
open to
interpretation
to engage with a
proposition is to interpret it –
and any
interpretation – is open to question – open to doubt
this engagement – is
understanding
there is no
understanding if there is no engagement –
if a proposition is
put in an active context –
there will be
engagement –
there will be
interpretation –
there will be
understanding
