77. The philosophy of logic speaks of sentences and words in the sense
in which we speak of them in ordinary life.
(We are not justified in having any more scruples about our language
than the chess player has about chess, namely none.)
the philosophy of logic is an exploration of the possible ways of
thinking about language
there are different ways of thinking about chess – just as there are
different ways of thinking about language
any proposal put for understanding language – is open to question – open
to doubt – is uncertain
philosophical logic is an exploration of uncertainty
