Summary

This quote suggests that philosophy deals mainly with probabilities and uncertainties rather than absolutes. Philosophical assertions are not stated as absolute truths but are accompanied by a degree of doubt. It implies that philosophy recognizes the complexity of the world and the limitations of human understanding. Rather than offering definite answers, philosophy encourages exploration, questioning, and critical thinking. By acknowledging the presence of doubt, philosophy allows for ongoing inquiry and the possibility of multiple perspectives, contributing to its ever-evolving nature.
