Abstract

Th is article is about the analytical tradition in religious studies that is concentrated on religious language and its critical analysis. Two periods are the main subjects of interest: one is the period when anti-metaphysical approach that had originated in the area of neopositivism fl ourished in its criticism of ethics and religion; the other is post-war investigations of religious language enriched with Popperian postpositivism methodology of fallibilism translated in the domain of religious language. Th e special emphasis was put on Wittgenstein’s approach to religious language that was extracted from his Cambridge lectures. Also the author proposes to consider Russell’s theory of descriptions as fruitful analytical method by that time concerning religious language as well as language as the whole that stayed incomprehensible and undervalued by most analytic philosophers of that time.
