Dr Edward Kanterian, Senior Lecturer in Department of Philosophy, will be giving an invited talk at a workshop entitled ‘Fallibilismus und Gewissheit ‘ [‘Fallibilism and Uncertainty’], at the Technische Universität Darmstadt [Darmstadt University of Technology], Germany, on 23 March 2018.

In his paper, entitled ‘Neue Perspektiven zu Wittgensteins Bemerkungen’ [‘New perspectives to Wittgenstein’s observations’], Edward will argue that the traditional epistemological distinction between indubitable (certain) and dubitable propositions needs to be refined in the light of Wittgenstein‘s last reflections on the relation between our mental states and our behaviour. He will show, there is a third category of propositions, i.e. about other minds, which are not indubitable, but also not dubitable in the sense that one can never ‘really’ know what another person feels, thinks etc.
