Zusatztext "Does Wittgenstein's philosophy lead to atheism? Is it clearly religious? Both of these questions have been answered in the affirmative. A study of Wittgenstein's key concepts of logic and language in his major works from the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus to the Philosophical Investigations and On Certainty reveals how he came to see in his later work that meaning is shown in how words are woven into the community of concretelife practices. A discussion of Christology and Luther's distinction between the theologian of glory and the theologian of the cross provides theological analogies for Wittgenstein's later philosophy. It also provides important evidence to show—through examples of scripture, liturgy, and practice—that Wittgenstein's philosophy is a useful tool that can fit with theology" -- Shofar Informationen zum Autor Tim Labron is Professor and Department Chair in Philosophy and Religious Studies at Concordia University of Edmonton, Canada.
