Partially Examined Life #309: Wittgenstein On Certainty (Part One)

Показать описание
Discussing the notes Ludwig Wittgenstein made at the end of his life in 1951 that were published as On Certainty in 1969.

Can we coherently doubt propositions like "physical objects exist," "the world is more than 50 years old," and "this is my hand"? Wittgenstein looks at these questions via his framework of language games. Is doubting one of these a legitimate move in a game?

You know you’re not in wittgensteinian territory when the guy starts by complaining about spelling.

Trying to make their closed academic minds funny. Terrible intro to Wittgenstein. "He doesn't write like he wants to be published in one of our journals that no one reads. He's a real dummy." Skip this if you want to learn more about Wittgenstein's philosophy.
