This reflection examines the ontological and epistemological relationship between the categories of possibility and reality. The author critically re-evaluates the traditional conception that views possibility merely as a "mode" of reality. Such an approach is deemed problematic because it could lead to reducing possibility to a mere state of consciousness, which would confirm its reality in a psychological sense but fail to address the core of the philosophical problem. The text warns against this evasive maneuver and emphasizes the need for a deeper distinction between real potential and mere fiction. The central theme is the attempt to differentiate between real possibility and illusory possibility, though the fragment ends just as this distinction begins to take shape. The contemplation points to the semantic and philosophical difficulties associated with defining these concepts, suggesting that possibility cannot be simply subordinated to reality as a derivative form without causing significant conceptual distortion or misinterpretation of the actual state of affairs.
