90. How can I expect the event, when it isn’t there at all? – I can
imagine a stag that is not there, in this meadow, but not kill one that is not
there. – It is not the expected thing that is the fulfillment, but rather its
coming about. It is difficult for us to shake off this comparison: a man makes
his appearance – an event makes its appearance.
‘How can I expect the event, when it isn’t there at all?’
what is there – in the absence
of any proposal – is the unknown
propositions – proposals – make known
my expectation – is just another
proposal – another proposition –
open to question – open to doubt
– uncertain
‘It is not the expected thing that is the fulfillment, but rather its
coming about’?
there is –logically speaking no
fulfilment –
if you mean by fulfilment – the
absence of doubt
‘It is difficult for us to shake off this comparison: a man makes his
appearance – an event makes its appearance.’?
if are to speak correctly of men
and events – we are speaking of proposals –
propositions
