CHICA PEREZ, Víctor Hugo. Wittgenstein and the method of analysis by propositional types in On Certainty. Estud.filos [online]. 2015, n.52, pp.141-160. ISSN 0121-3628.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.ef.n52a08.

My purpose in this article is to provide a reconstruction of the mechanics of philosophical analysis that Wittgenstein carried out in "On Certainty". I will show that this analysis is based, specifically, on an appeal to a wide propositional typology that serves to evaluate and diagnose Moore's propositions. To this end, I shall first explain how common readings of the methodological issues in "On Certainty" fail. Secondly, I focus on the mechanics of analysis found in paragraphs 1 -65, specifically the analysis of three sentences: "There are physical objects", "I know that there is a hand here" and "here the mistake is impossible". Thirdly, I proceed to identify different stages of the method and justify in what sense the strategic core of such research is the table of propositional typologies.

Palabras clave : Wittgenstein; method; propositional types; on certainty; philosophical analysis.
