Notes for the ‘Philosophical
Lecture’.
Privacy
of experiences. This privacy a
super privacy.
Something like privacy. What seems to be the
essential characteristic of
privacy? Nobody but I can see
it, feel it, hear it; nobody except myself knows what it's
like. Nobody except I can get at it. Language
game with the
colour
chart. Let us imagine each man has a private
chart
(perhaps
besides
having a public one). Imagine he
points to green on his
private chart when ‘red’ is said
why should we say he means by ‘red’ the
colour we mean by ‘green’?
Privacy of feelings can mean: nobody can know them unless I
show them; or: I can't really show them.
Or: if I don't want to, I needn't give
any sign of my feeling but even if I want to I can only show a sign
& not the feeling.
