Wittgenstein's On Certainty Anonymous 2016-01-18 08:04:25 Post No. 7598288 [Report]

I'm writing an essay on Wittgenstein's book On Certainty and realizing that there is not such a wealth of secondary material on this book, though it is a fascinating and important work of philosophy. Does anyone here have comments or suggestions on where to look?

As a possible starting point, here's one of my favorite lines from the book: "Where two principles really do meet which cannot be reconciled with one another, then each man declares the other a fool and a heretic."

Also, Wittgenstein general thread.

Libgen alone has:

>Readings of Wittgenstein's On Certainty
>Routledge Philosophy GuideBook to Wittgenstein and On Certainty
>Understanding Wittgenstein's On Certainty
>Wittgenstein's On Certainty: There - Like Our Life

All of those will have bibliography/references/notes for more in-depth material.
