Abstract
Justifications come to an end. Now, what is this end? According to Wittgenstein it is our manner of acting. It is our form of life which lies at the bottom of our language - games. Knowledge is possible only in this context. This paper considers the structure of this context through considering what Wittgenstein calls it world - picture.
World - picture forms a coherent system. Which has been acquired by means of observation and instruction, and so it is something universal not personal and private. It is the ground of every human inquiry. However it doesn't mean its agreement with reality. At the same time its change throughout the time is not impossible. It remains that these properties of world-picture should be investigated in details.
