Guest guest Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 It is heartening to see the mainstream media again discussing religion. This is an interesting essay from one of the most "secular" newspapers in India after it was bombarded with letters from the readers regarding it's stance on the subject of science & spirituality. "In his foreword to Philosophical Remarks, Wittgenstein famously said: “This book is written to the glory of God, but nowadays that would be chicanery, that is, it would not be rightly understood.” Wittgenstein hesitated, not because of any philosophical commitment to the claim that the most important things were unsayable, or because an admission of this kind would expose him to embarrassment in a secular world." Here is the link to the entire essay; http://www.telegraphindia.com/1050730/asp/opinion/story_5004572.asp Regards, Jagannath.
