Product Description

Review
"The seventh volume of the Wittgenstein corpus, which contains notes written at the end of his life.... Provides a straightforward guide to the thought of this most complex of philosophers." -- "Bookseller""The volume is full of thought-provoking insights which will prove a stimulus both to further study and to scholarly disagreement." -- Alan R. White, "Philosophical Books""All students of philosophy will want to read it. What it contains is his notes on knowledge and doubt, written in the last year and a half of his life, mainly in answer to G. E. Moore's articles on these subjects." -- "British Book News"

5.0 out of 5 stars Wittgenstein's account of knowledge and belief, 25 April 1999
By A Customer
A late great work by one of the twentieth century's most important philosophers. Sketches a holistic and "humanistic" picture of knowledge, belief, and social practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of LWs more readable books, and interesting too, 15 Dec 1997
By A Customer
On Certainty was LWs last effort to tacle the problem of philosophy. Especially the issue of being certain of things. It consists of a number of reflections on how you reason when you are certain. LW concludes that every uncertainty have its ground in some sort of basic knowledge. You know something to uncertain of something in that area. It is a book that is very easy to read, as opposed to the ones he has written.
