Re: Wittgenstein's treatment of God
RAVI Zacharis said on the radio this morn
Difficult Questions. Thoughtful Answers. | RZIM
said that we are no longer communicating by propositions but by a common image. Indeed Wittgenstein was one of the greatest wits of the propositional pre-post modernism but today when doubt need not deconstruct hate vs something else right or wrong i think that WITTGENSTEIN's REMARKS only marked the time when image communication was but the plaything of all shadowed conversation. That said, I think your point is excellent.
If we can only learn to "speak" all over again with our new toys...

Re: Wittgenstein's treatment of God
The web page was only to give you an idea, if you did not already have one, of who RAVI is. I heard the comment on a local radios station so I do not know if that content was specifically available at the web site.
You are correct, as far as I hear it, one is NECESSARILY lead to "silence", but I do not think this plays out later any better for science or religion and puts the burden on anyone concurrently to move from this DERIVED silence to a new discourse. It certianly helps the non-believer in ways that did not exist a 100 yrs ago.
