Some even regard it as a lapse at the end of a distinguished career, or as a late epistemological interest that remained undeveloped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRush Rhees, a close friend of Wittgenstein and a major interpreter of his work, shows how \u003cem\u003eWittgenstein's On Certainty\u003c\/em\u003e concerns logic, language, and reality—topics that occupied Wittgenstein from early in his career. From his earliest work on the nature of propositions, to his interest in \u003cem\u003eOn Certainty\u003c\/em\u003e with the 'sureness' in our language-games, Wittgenstein questions 'what it means to say something'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHe emphasizes the importance not of that which cannot be questioned, but of what we do not question in our thought and action. In this book, Rhees brings out the continuity in Wittgenstein's thought, and the radical character of his conclusions. In explicating this text, and demonstrating its continuity with Wittgenstein's earlier work, Rhees has done a great service that will be of profound interest to students and scholars of Wittgenstein for generations to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRhees's comments are introduced by D.
