Exemplifying how Wittgenstein's thought can be engaged with both sympathetically and critically, \u003ci\u003eWittgenstein, Religion and Ethics\u003c\/i\u003e pushes forward our thinking about religion and ethics and their place in the modern world. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bringing Wittgenstein's ideas into productive dialogue with several other important thinkers, including Elizabeth Anscombe, St Thomas Aquinas, Georg Cantor, Søren Kierkegaard and George Orwell, this collection fosters a highly informative picture of how different strands of contemporary and historical thought intersect and bear upon one another. Chapters are written by leading scholars in the field and tackle current debates concerning religious and ethical matters, with particular attention to the nature of religious language. This is a substantial contribution to religion and ethics, demonstrating the significance of Wittgenstein's ideas for these and related subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMikel Burley\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of Religion and Philosophy at the  University of Leeds, UK.
