Reviews
One of LWs more readable books, and interesting too
Review date: 1997-12-15 Rating: 10 out of 10
On Certainty was LWs last effort to tacle the problem of philosophy. Especially the issue of being certain of things. It consists of a number of reflections on how you reason when you are certain. LW concludes that every uncertainty have its ground in some sort of basic knowledge. You know something to uncertain of something in that area. It is a book that is very easy to read, as opposed to the ones he has written.
