For Wittgenstein, see p. 157 above. Montaigne’s most famous saying was, after a lifetime of learning, que sçais-je? The saying that ‘the more you know, the more you know that you don’t know’ is attributed both to the Buddha and to Socrates. St. Paul wrote: ‘And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know’ (1 Corinthians 8: 2).
