Puzzle of Relativism in On Certainty

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1007-4074.2012.02.002

Abstract

Abstract: Some passages in On Certainty seem to reveal a relativism tendency,which is not in accordance with Wittgenstein’s anti-relativism style.Whatever attitude Wittgenstein had toward relativism is essential to his puzzle of relativism.Based on the analysis on such theories as the axis position of Moorian proposition,the certainty of belief system and way of act in Wittgenstein’s philosophy,the answer to the puzzle of relativism becomes clear gradually.

Key words: belief, certainty, way of act, relativism
