This paper is a contribution to this strand. My discussion has four parts. I shall begin by out lining my interpretation of Wittgensteinian certainties. Subsequently I shall briefly introduce some central arguments for and against attributing epistemic relativism to "On Certainty". This will be followed by a sketch of the cluster of ideas that-on my analysis-define important versions of the doctrine in question. And finally I shall give my own interpretation of "On Certainty" in relation to epistemic relativism UR - http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/23687 UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/id/ad238d33-36fe-40c7-8391-1f37e48382ce/80_[9783110450651 - Analytic] Wittgensteins.pdf ER -
