4538 | Judgements can't be true and known in isolation; the only surety is in connections and relations [Nietzsche] |
Full Idea: An isolated judgement is never 'true', never knowledge; only in connection and relation of many judgements is there any surety. | |
From: Friedrich Nietzsche (The Will to Power (notebooks) [1888], §530) | |
A reaction: It actually seems impossible to state an isolated judgement in language without having a mass of presuppositions and beliefs to support it. I don't think the full holistic thesis about language follows, however. |
