Wittgenstein and Philosophy of Religion

by Robert L. Arrington (Editor)

Wittgenstein and Philosophy of Religion sheds new light on the perennial debate between faith and reason. It highlights the disagreements between Wittgenstein and religious sceptics, resulting in a collection that is both informative and stimulating. The themes discussed include Wittgenstein's views on creation, magic and free will, and Wittgenstein's thought is compared to that of Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and contemporary reformed epistemologists.

[Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some articles merit six stars; others deserve two. Must-reads in this book are the articles on Wittgenstein and magic (Brian Clack) and the one on faith in Wittgenstein, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche (Michael Hodges), in my opinion. I got Clack's book on Wittgenstein, Frazer, and Religion because I loved his article so much, and anxiously await reading it.
