My procedure in this paper will be to arrange remarks from Wittgenstein's own later writings, especially On Certainty , often in the form of a dialogue between a Wittgensteinian voice and an interlocutor. My hope is to provide an arrangement of materials that brings out how they hang together and how they show us what's wrong with a picture of knowing that has motivated much of our epistemology.
