Description
On Certainty is a collection of reflections by Ludwig Wittgenstein on knowledge and certainty, written over the last 18 months of his life. Inspired by G. E. Moore's defence of common sense, these thoughts explore what it means to know a proposition for sure.
The book gathers Wittgenstein's ideas on the nature of knowledge and how we can be certain about things. It is a thought-provoking exploration of the limits of language and the complexities of understanding.
