Synopsis
This book considers the important twentieth century Austrian philosopher, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and his conception of certainty. In his work entitled On Certainty , Wittgenstein provides not only a brilliant solution to a previously intractable philosophical problem, but also the elements of an entirely new way of approaching this and similar longstanding, apparently unresolvable, problems. In On Certainty , he re-conceives the problem of radical skepticism -the claim that we can never really be certain of anything except the contents of our own minds-as a kind of philosophical "disease" of thought. His approach to the problem, which is emphasized in the book, is similar to the treatment of disease, has two main goals: (1) bring about an awareness in the philosopher that this kind of extreme skepticism is not a methodological approach to be taken seriously, and, with this awareness, (2) an attempt to replace this radical skepticism with a practical, Common Sense framework. Implicit in Wittgenstein's approach are a number of strategies found in a contemporary approach to psychotherapy known as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) . These strategies, along with philosophical methods and scientific practices rooted in the Scottish School of Common Sense , seek to diagnose and treat irrational thoughts and beliefs that often emerge (and re-emerge) in the discipline of philosophy. The aim of this book, then, is to provide students of philosophy with the tools necessary to adjust and reshape these irrational, self-defeating thoughts and beliefs into something new, something healthy., 1 On Certainty : Scholarship, Development, and Placement ............................ 1.1 Can We Know Anything With Certainty?.................................................. 1.2 The 3 Phases of On Certainty Scholarship...................................... 1.3 How On Certainty Came to be Written.......................................... 1.4 Where On Certainty Fits in the Canon........................................... 1.5 Resisting Our "Natural Biases"................................................... 1.6 Wittgenstein's Therapeutic Approach & Scholarship..........................
