At times, Wittgenstein seems motivated by a fairly straightforward foundationalism:

To be sure, there is justification; but justification comes to an end. (OC §192; see also §110)

Propositions like Moore’s are these endpoints, claims for which no further justification can be offered:

I want to say: my not having been on the moon is as sure a thing for me as any grounds I could give for it.

And isn’t that what Moore wants to say, when he says he knows all these things?—But is his knowing it really what is in question, and not rather that some of these propositions must be solid for us? (OC §111–112)
