This is a critical exposition of multiple facets of Ludwig Wittgenstein's thoughts on ethics and religion. First it brings our foundations of Wittgenstein's views on ethics and religion. Then it deals with various issues of current debates in the philosophy of Wittgenstein such as notion of transcendental ethics dichotomy between fact and value distinction between religious and superstitious beliefs notion of happiness and human being discussions of fideism whether Wittgenstein's methodology was Christian or Jew Wittgenstein's religious thoughts in the context of logical positivism and Habermas. It is useful not only for students of philosophy and theology but also for a lay reader who is interested in an in depth analysis of the realm of meta ethics and religious philosophy of language. 288 pp. Seller Inventory # 69982
