This volume is dedicated to Wittgenstein's remarks on Frazer's The
Golden Bough and represents a collaboration of scholars within
philosophy and the study of religion. For the first time,
specialized investigations of the philological and philosophical
aspects Wittgenstein's manuscripts are combined with the outlook of
philosophical anthropology and ritual studies. In the first section
of the book Wittgenstein's remarks are presented and discussed in
light of his Nachlass and relevant lecture-notes by G.E. Moore,
reproduced in this book as facsimiles. The second section deals
with the cultural and philosophical background of the early
remarks, while the third section focuses specifically on the
general problem of understanding as being a main issue of these
remarks. The fourth section concentrates on the philosophical
development characteristic of the later remarks. Finally, the fifth
section reviews Wittgenstein's opposition to Frazer, and the
ramifications of his remarks, in light of ritual studies. The book
is intended for scholars in philosophy and religious studies, as
well as for the general reader with an academic interest in
philosophy and the philosophy of religion.
