?ber Gewi?heit is not easy to estimate properly, because it is a mere collection of Wittgenstein's short notes which belong to the last year and a half of his life. It is often regarded as a work intending to repel philosophical skepticism through the criticism of G.E.Moore's refutation of it. I think it is surely a right but a narrow view. In this paper I try to show that it is a work casting a new light on some unnoticed ways of language and mind. The essential insight of ?ber Gewi?heit can be stated as follows; All the language-game is only possible under that certain material or substantial framework, so to speak, which we have unconsciously formed and trusted. If one notices the framework and tries to express it as a language-game, it makes its appearance as a lot of queer propositions, which are called ■the world-picture propositions■ that Moore insisted ■he knew■. According to Wittgenstein, you neither ■know■ nor ■not know■ them. You are always practicing the language-game, entrusting yourself to some substantial framework, and that's all.
