Jacket Notes:
Written over the last 18 months of his life and inspired by his interest in G. E. Moore's defense of common sense, this much discussed volume collects Wittgenstein's reflections on knowledge and certainty, on what it is to know a proposition for sure.
Strand Notes
A compilation of loosely connected, aphoristic-like statements composed at the end of the philosopher's life, concerning the question of how sure of anything we can ever be. Wittgenstein holds that there is no basic idea of 'certainty' to which all can be reduced to, but only a range of related uses of the word in our language. Both a stimulus to further study and to scholarly disagreement. 180p.
