About This Book

On Certainty is a philosophical book composed from notes written by Ludwig Wittgenstein over four separate periods in the eighteen months before his death on 29 April 1951. He left his initial notes at the home of Elizabeth Anscombe, who linked them by theme with later passages in Wittgenstein's personal notebooks and, compiled them into a German/English parallel text book published in 1969. The translators were Denis Paul and Anscombe herself.
