Abstract

While Wittgenstein is not famous for his writings on religion, it is
certainly possible to interpret his work in such a way that it can be
applied to religion. As Wittgenstein's work is generally divided in
early and late work, this paper provides two interpretation
regarding religion. His early work – Tractatus Logico-
Philosophicus – can be considered a form of negative theology.
His later work – Philosophical Investigations – offers an
anthropologic method, i.e. the language game, that can be applied
to religion.
