Philosophical Grammar 87


87. It seems as if the expectation and the fact satisfying the expectation fitted together somehow, Solids and hollows. – Expectation is not related to its satisfaction in the same way as hunger is related to its satisfaction.



‘somehow’ is the point

an expectation – is uncertain – satisfaction is uncertain

a solid cylinder that fills a hollow cylinder – is this satisfaction?

if it is decided that it is – if it is defined as a such –

any decision – any definition – is open to question –

open to doubt – uncertain

even the so called ‘satisfaction’ of hunger –

can be revisited
