Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 - 1951) was a 20th century philosopher, who contributed to the uncertainty of knowledge and rise of postmodernism. Wittgenstein's central idea, which is expressed in the following quote, is that language is a kind of game - a tautology - that words only have meaning relative to other words. This is true when we don't have certain knowledge of physical reality (language is a human construction, without absolute truth). To read more about the solution to this problem, see our webpage on Ludwig Wittgenstein.
Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. ... The meaning of a word is its use in the language. (Ludwig Wittgenstein)
