A vagueness in logic – we want to say
– is something that can't be. || There
can't be a vagueness in logic – we wish to
say.
We
live now || now
live in the idea: the ideal
“
must”
be there in reality || the real
world || found in the real
world || lie in reality. –
While we don't yet see
how it is
there || lies in it || how it has
a place there, and don't understand
the nature of this “must”.
We believe
, – || : it
must
be || lie in the real world, for
we
think we already see it there || believe
we see it there already.
In our thoughts the
ideal || The ideal, in our thoughts, sits
firm
and immovable.
You can't step
out
of || outside it.
You always have || You've
always got to go back
again.
There
is no outside; outside
there's no air || you can't
breathe. –
Whence all this? || How does this
queer situation arise?
The idea,
rests || sits as it
were on our nose as a pair of spectacles || as it were, sits
as || like a pair of spectacles on our nose,
and whatever we look at we see through
it || them.
It never enters our head to take them off.
How can I understand the
proposition || sentence
now,
if || when the
analysis is
supposed to be able to show
what
it is I really understand? –
Here the idea of understanding as a
peculiar || strange mental process
enters in.
The strict
and || , || , and clear rules of the logical
construction of
the || a
proposition appear to us as something in the
background, –
embedded || lodged || hidden
in the medium of understanding.
I see them now already (even
though through a medium) || I see them even now
(although through a medium), since I understand
the sign, mean something
with || by it.
The ideally
rigid || rigorous
construction appears to me as something concrete: – I had
used a simile; but because of the
grammatical illusion, that to the
concept
word || general name there
corresponds
one thing,
what || that
which is
in common to all
its || the objects
falling under
it, it did not seem to be a simile.
