Philosophical Grammar 99


99. What happens is that this symbol cannot be further interpreted, but: I do no interpreting.

I imagine N. No interpretation accompanies this image; what gives the image its interpretation is the path on which it lies.



‘but: I do no interpreting’?

yes – logically any proposition is open to interpretation –

however for a good many – perhaps even for the majority of the propositions that come our way – we do no interpreting

and the reason?

a question has not been put – a doubt has not been raised

‘I imagine N. No interpretation accompanies this image; what gives the image its interpretation is the path on which it lies’?

yes fair enough

just what that path is – will be open to question – open to doubt
