Books received summaries and comments Derek cross and staff Wittgenstein and knowledge: The importance of on certainty [Book Review]
Abstract
Though Morawetz probes the sense and validity of numerous passages in Wittgenstein’s On Certainty, the issues interest him more than the text. Wittgenstein’s notes serve as a vehicle for closer, more systematic investigation of such questions as "whether there is ungrounded as well as grounded knowledge, whether thought and language are constrained within conceptual frameworks, and whether skepticism is a satisfactory epistemological position".
