“In my talk I will try to compare some remarks of the ‘second’ Wittgenstein to the foucaldian conception of « history of Truth », particularly in a period of time going from 1969 to 1971. I do not want to suggest that there had been an underground influence of Wittgenstein on Foucault’s work, but I just want to show that with Wittgenstein’s notions of certainty and Truth it is useful to understand the foucaldian notion of « knowledge ». On the other side the archeological methods developed by Foucault help us to understand the historical dimension of our philosophical concepts. This comparison of two different styles of reasoning will give us the opportunity to do some remarks about historical epistemology. ”
