Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the advantages inferential contextualism has over the other contextualist theories in epistemology. Inferential contextualism is labelled as an epistemic anti-skeptical strategy, contrary to the semantic strategies that are also inspired by the Wittgenstein’s book On Certainty. It is claimed that there are certain internal incoherencies within the epistemic strategies, which gives an advantage to the semantic ones, both in the argumentation against skepticism and as an interpretation of Wittgenstein.
