120. “This face has a particular expression.” We perhaps look for words
and feel that everyday language is here to crude.
in any propositional endeavour – we face – uncertainty
where standard propositional practices – for one reason or another – seem not to be up to the job – the reality of propositional uncertainty – is brought
into sharp focus
it is not as if we ever nail it –
we are mostly carried along by convention and habit
even our surest statement – is only sure to the extent that we don’t
question it
surety or certainty is ignorance –
unenlightened ignorance
