We may smile to be told that, in some cultures, the eating of timid
or ugly animals is believed to make the eater timid or ugly. Yet,
equally fundamental misunderstandings of the relations between
things, words and ideas are rife among Western thinkers. In this
provocative essay, G.A. Wells identifies some influential mistakes
about language embedded in the empiricist philosophical tradition
of Locke, Russell and Ayer. Wells shows how these errors stimulated
a religious backlash, in which faith became coupled with
commonsense realism, in such writers as Keith Ward, Teilhard de
Chardin and Thomas Altizer. Similar misconceptions gave rise both
to the behaviourism of Watson and Ryle, and to the
anti-behaviourist Chomskyan reaction with its chimera of a
"universal grammar". Magical thinking, the writer claims, derives
from plausible errors concerning the efficacy of gestures and
words, and survives even though these errors have been refuted.
Wells illustrates the influence of misconceptions about language as
they manifest themselves in contemporary religious apologetics.
In this book, Professor Wells, one of the leading freethinkers of
our time, addresses the question of why so many people believe and
adopt the doctrines of religion. The work opens with a new attempt
to analyze the nature of belief, developing the theoretical
approach of the late F.R.H. Englefield. Wells rejects the view that
an idea is a definite image, and distinguishes between general and
abstract ideas. An account of the evidence for reasoning in
non-human animals rebuts the frequently-heard claim that language
is intrinsic to thinking, and a discussion of fairytales and
primitive thinking concludes that these are closer to modern modes
of thought than some philosphers have maintained. Moving to a
consideration of the Bible as a basis for religious belief,
Professor Wells describes the Bible's contradictory views of the
person of Jesus, and presents an account of the traditional Muslim
theory that Jesus was in fact saved by God from crucifixion. Wells
also appraises the significance of various modern attempts to
rethink the significance of the New Testament (Schweitzer, Hoskyns
and Davey, Sanders and Davies), and reviews Charlesworth's attempt
to salvage some historical evidence for Jesus from the Christian
interpolation in Josephus. "Belief and Make-Believe" also contains
explorations of conceptual difficulties in the New Testament view
of man, with special attention to bodily resurrection,
predestination, and eternal punishment, and analyzes recent
attempts to defend the Christian message by restating it in more
abstract terms. Finally, Professor Wells investigates the links
between poetry, arts, and religion and the prevalence of
make-believe in the arts and artistic criticism.

Sprache ist stets eingebettet in historische Situationen, in denen
Akteure spezifische Interessen verfolgen. Die
Auswahlentscheidungen, die sie dabei bezuglich sprachlicher Zeichen
treffen, sind soziolinguistisch interpretierbar. Der Fokus auf
Varianten als interpretierbare Zeichen fuhrt dann auch zur Einsicht
in die unterschiedliche Interpretierbarkeit sprachlicher Zeichen je
nach sozio-kulturellem Kontext. Sprachliche Handlungen in ihrem
sozio-kulturellen Kontext zu interpretieren ohne auf
verallgemeinerbare Aussagen uber die Struktur einer Sprache zu
verzichten, stellt fur die Sprachwissenschaft noch immer eine
lohnende Herausforderung dar. Der Band vereint Beitrage, die sich
zu dieser Herausforderung positionieren und sich mit den
unterschiedlichen Ansatzen in den Forschungsarbeiten von Beate
Henn-Memmesheimer beschaftigen.
