Abstract
An overview is offered of Wittgenstein’s ground-breaking
discussion of knowledge and certainty, especially in his final notebooks,
published as On Certainty. The main interpretative readings of On
Certainty are discussed, especially a non-propositional/non-epistemic
interpretation and a variety of propositional and/or epistemic
interpretations. Surveys are offered of the readings of On Certainty
presented by such figures as Annalisa Coliva, John Greco, Danièle Moyal-
Sharrock, Duncan Pritchard, Genia Schönbaumsfeld, P. F. Strawson,
Michael Williams, and Crispin Wright. This Element demonstrates how On
Certainty has been especially groundbreaking for epistemology with
regard to its treatment of the problem of radical scepticism.
