Not aware of which part would be a Wittgenstenian quote. Long time ago that I read Wittgenstein, and I read him in German. In any case, I remain confused on what you mean with ‘circular’.
Hmm… Oh, I think that was elsewhere on this thread. Probably not to you. Eliezer’s Where Recursive Justification Hits Bottom seems to embrace a circular epistemology despite its title.
That doesn’t help. If recursive justification is a particular kind of circular argument that’s valid, so that others are invalid, then something makes it valid. But what? EY doesn’t say. And how do we know that the additional factor isn’t doing all the work?

He doesn’t show much sign of embracing the validity of all circular argument ss, and neither do you.
I never said all circular arguments are valid
