116. “I see what you see.” I say that because I don’t want to give a
name to what I see. – I want to exclude from my consideration of familiarity
everything that is
‘historical’. – The multiplicity of familiarity is that of feeling at
home in what I see.
‘I don’t want to give a name to what I see?’
this is a logical posture – the point of which is to avoid any
propositional commitment
however if you understand that any name – any description – is a proposal –
open to question – open to doubt – uncertain –
then you understand that any ‘commitment’ – is – can only be – uncertain
‘I want to exclude from my consideration of familiarity everything that
is
‘historical’?
a proposition doesn’t come out of nowhere –
our use of propositions is a use of propositional history or histories –
if I use a word it is most likely that I have used it before –
or that my use of other words has
led to this usage
it is just a history of propositional use that I am familiar with –
whenever I give a name to whatever I see
however any explication of that history – any description of it –
like any proposal – any proposition – is open to question – open to
doubt – will be uncertain
‘The multiplicity of familiarity is that of feeling at home in what I
see’?
yeah – we actually live in uncertainty – in possibility –
in the great propositional clutter
