The ethical and religious views of an influential philosopher

The twentieth century philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein is perhaps best known for his works related to logic and language. Wittgenstein on Ethics and Religious Belief offers insight into the philosopher's thoughts on value in ethics and religion. Barrett shares how Wittgenstein's views of ethics and religion are in keeping, at least to some extent, with more traditional theological and philosophical beliefs. The author maintains that the philosopher considered it highly important to relate his thoughts on the two interwoven topics.
