Investigation into the nature of knowledge
On face value, On Certainty is a surprisingly accessible Wittgenstein text, exploring the notions of epistemology and scepticism or \"knowing\" and \"doubting\", however, the work, on closer examination, cleverly argues these positions in the epistemological tradition from clearly different perspectives, thus On Certainty is more complex than it appears.

\"On Certainty\" represents a much more honed work than the more common \"Philosophical Investigations,\" though the depth of its insights are no less than than that work.
