  • More about Wittgenstein on Certainty and Doubt

On Certainty, Wittgenstein's last work, is considered his third masterpiece and explores the basis of indisputable knowledge claims through the examination of epistemic terms and the foundations of human knowledge.

Format: Hardback
Length: 208 pages
Publication date: 01 January 2021
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd


On Certainty, Wittgenstein's final work, is widely recognized as his third masterpiece of philosophy and one of his most enigmatic writings. It delves into the expressions of indisputable knowledge and the role of language in shaping such claims. While On Certainty has often been interpreted as a departure from Wittgenstein's earlier ideas, this study contextualizes them within the broader development of his thought since the 1930s. Wittgenstein on Certainty and Doubt sheds light on Wittgenstein's exploration of the logical aspects of epistemic terms, such as "know," "believe," and "doubt," as well as his examination of the foundations of human knowledge, the extent to which our knowledge is immune from doubt, and the conflicts between different formulations of knowledge.
