Ludwig Wittgenstein's On Certainty explores a myriad of new and
important ideas regarding our notions of belief, knowledge,
skepticism, and certainty. During the course of his exploration,
Wittgenstein makes a fascinating new discovery about certitude,
namely, that it is categorically distinct from knowledge. As his
investigation advances, he recognizes that certainty must be
non-propositional and non-ratiocinated; borne out not in the things
we say, but in our actions, our deeds. Many philosophers working
outside of epistemology recognized Wittgenstein's insights and
determined that his work's abrupt end might serve as an excellent
launching point for still further philosophical expeditions. In
Exploring Certainty: Wittgenstein and Wide Fields of Thought,
Robert Greenleaf Brice surveys some of this rich topography.
Wittgenstein's writings serve as a point of departure for Brice's
own ideas about certainty. He shows how Wittgenstein's rough and
unpolished notion of certitude might be smoothed out and refined in
a way to benefit studies of morality, aesthetics, cognitive
science, philosophy of mathematics. Brice's work opens new avenues
of thought for scholars and students of the Wittgensteinian
tradition, while introducing original philosophies concerning
issues central to human knowledge and cognition.
