Wittgenstein, Frazer and Religion expounds and analyses the
argument of Wittgenstein's Remarks on Frazer's Golden Bough . It
details the reasons for Wittgenstein's rejection of the
intellectualist theory of religion, and suggests a new
interpretation of his rival view of ritual. Denying that
Wittgenstein's account is straightforwardly expressivist, the
author builds his own interpretation on Wittgenstein's claim that
magic is akin to metaphysics. In the course of the book, the author
considers such matters as expressivism, 'perspicuous
representation', the nature of human sacrifice, and Wittgenstein's
cultural pessimism.
