This collection examines the relationship between Augustine and
Wittgenstein and demonstrates the deep affinity they share, not
only for the substantive issues they treat but also for the style
of philosophizing they employ. Wittgenstein saw certain salient
Augustinian approaches to concepts like language-learning, will,
memory, and time as prompts for his own philosophical explorations,
and he found great inspiration in Augustine's highly personalized
and interlocutory style of writing philosophy. Each in his own way,
in an effort to understand human experience more fully, adopts a
mode of philosophizing that involves questioning, recognizing
confusions, and confronting doubts. Beyond its bearing on such
topics as language, meaning, knowledge, and will, their analysis
extends to the nature of religious belief and its fundamental place
in human experience. The essays collected here consider a broad
range of themes, from issues regarding teaching, linguistic
meaning, and self-understanding to miracles, ritual, and religion.
