Wittgenstein's account of knowledge and belief5
A late great work by one of the twentieth century's most important philosophers. Sketches a holistic and "humanistic" picture of knowledge, belief, and social practice.

One of LWs more readable books, and interesting too5
On Certainty was LWs last effort to tacle the problem of philosophy. Especially the issue of being certain of things. It consists of a number of reflections on how you reason when you are certain. LW concludes that every uncertainty have its ground in some sort of basic knowledge. You know something to uncertain of something in that area. It is a book that is very easy to read, as opposed to the ones he has written.
