This book investigates the conflicts concerning pragmatism in
Wittgenstein's work On Certainty, through a comparison with the
pragmatist tradition as expressed by its founding fathers Charles S. Peirce
and William James. It also describes Wittgenstein's first encounters with
pragmatism in the 1930s and shows the relevance of Frank Ramsey in the
development of his thought. Offering a balanced, critical and theoreticalexamination the author discusses issues such as doubt, certainty, common
sense, forms of life, action and the pragmatic maxim. While highlighting
the objective convergences and divergences between the two approaches,
the volume makes links to ongoing debates on relativism, foundationalism,
scepticism and objectivity. It will be of interest to anyone searching for newperspectives on Wittgenstein's philosophy.
Anna Boncompagni (University of Florence, Italy) works mainly on Wittgenstein's later philosophy and on pragmatism, and is also interested in phenomenology, the history of analytic philosophy, and the philosophy of psychiatry. Her previous publications include 'Elucidating Forms of Life: The Evolution of a Philosophical Tool', Nordic Wittgenstein Review (2015) and Wittgenstein: Lo Sguardo e il Limite (2012).
