<p><strong>'The whole volume stands as a moving tribute to a fruitful intellectual friendship.'</strong> - <em>Times Higher Education Supplement</em><br /><br /><strong>'A valuable and insightful debate on the motivations and directions underlying Wittgenstein's thought, and a welcome and needed addition to Wittgensteinian commentary.'</strong> - <em>Choice</em></p>

Ludwig Wittgenstein once said: 'I am not a religious man, but I cannot help seeing every problem from a religious point of view.' This study, the last work of the distinguished philosopher Norman Malcolm, is a discussion of what Wittgenstein may have meant by this and its significance for philosophy. The book concludes with a critical discussion of Malcolm's essay by Peter Winch.
