  There are basically two reasons why he takes private feelings to be irrelevant for the analysis of belief. The first of these concerns the difficulty of assigning objective measurements, but probably the definitive reason has to do with the fact that our most unshakable beliefs come without any particular sensation (Dokic and Engel 2002, 7).

At this point the similarities with the view that Wittgenstein would hold in his pragmatist period are evident (for the mutual influence between Ramsey and Wittgenstein, see §2 above).
