One might think that human beings, having labored long and hard to acquire knowledge (about whatever in particular it is that they as individuals wish to gain knowledge about) would cease their mental struggling and simply be content to revel in that knowledge. However, this is not the case, for no sooner have we poor humans acquired knowledge than we find ourselves swarmed by epistemologists and philosophers of language demanding that we explain to them how exactly it is that we come to have this knowledge. How exactly can we be sure that we do know anything? Are we - as Wittgenstein will proffer (and Russell will go a long way towards agreeing) limited in our knowledge of the world by the limits of our language - or at least by the limits of Language? Or do we have knowledge that lie
