Ludwig Wittgenstein â?? 20th centuryOn Certainty is a series of notes made
by Ludwig Wittgenstein just prior to his death. The main theme of the work is
that context plays a role in epistemology. Wittgenstein asserts
an anti-foundationalist message throughout the work: that every claim can be
doubted but certainty is possible in a framework. "The function [propositions]
serve in language is to serve as a kind of framework within which empirical
propositions can make sense".[3]

... I meant this as a top-10, not a 1.
 ==============================
FWIW, I think one could make arguments for On Certainty and would have to give
serious thought even to various of Wittgenstein's published
manuscripts\typescripts. Â Â
