- This book is the product of five years’ research effort equivalent to that required for six or seven standard-length journal articles. The book is 108,000 (360 pages) words long. It involves sustained, in-depth investigation from different perspectives, including analytic and Kantian, of Wittgenstein's responses in On Certainty to scepticism and Moorean common sense. It is both a work of history of philosophy and a contribution to epistemological problems of enduring importance. If offers original analysis of such issues as historical framework propositions, the concepts of mistake and error, and meaning-scepticism in relation to brain-in-a-vat scenarios.
