We may now return to the ideas of “recognizing” and
“familiarity”, and in fact to that example of
recognition and familiarity which started our reflections on the use
of these terms and of a multitude of terms connected with them.
I mean the
140.
example of reading, say, a
written sentence in a well-known language. ‒ ‒
I read such a sentence to see what the experience of reading is
like, what “really happens” when one reads, and I get a
particular experience which I take to be the experience of
reading.
And, it seems, this doesn't simply consist in seeing and
pronouncing the words, but, besides, in an
experience of what I might
call an intimate character || experience of an intimate
character, as I should like to say.
(I
am || am as it were on an intimate footing
with the words “I read”).
