Más información sobre el libro

Exploring Wittgenstein's critique of intellectualist theories of religion, the book delves into his analysis of Frazer's work, particularly the concept of ritual. It challenges the notion that Wittgenstein's perspective is purely expressivist, proposing instead that he likens magic to metaphysics. Key themes include expressivism, 'perspicuous representation', and the complexities of human sacrifice, alongside an examination of Wittgenstein's cultural pessimism, providing a nuanced interpretation of his philosophical stance on religion.
