Contents

Along the years many people have contributed to my attaining the stage of intellectual development and outlook that has enabled me, through the grace of God, to produce this work. Geoffrey Hines, O.G. Roberts (a former headmaster who instilled a passion for learning in so many of his pupils, including myself) and Professor Max Wilcox (the latter formerly my undergraduate tutor at the University of Wales) deserve special mention. I also owe a great deal to my parents for the sacrifices made and encouragement given when providing me with an education.

I am also grateful to Dr Oswald Hanfling for the patient and thorough tutorial support given in the past, and to the Rev. Dr Cyril Barrett (his encouraging comments on an early post-graduate project of mine were an important motivating factor in my setting out to develop my thoughts on the central themes of this work).

Very special thanks are due to Professor Stuart Brown of the Open University. I have benefitted an immense amount from his intellectual example and from his kind support over the years.

Very special thanks are also due to Professor Paul Helm of Kings College London. His penetrating skill as a research supervisor has been the fundamental inspiration that has led to the translation of my often vague ideas into something more coherent. Though I feel that my stumbling efforts have not done full justice to his guidance, I do hope that this inadequate expression of thanks will at least go some way towards making up the deficit.

Special gratitude is also due to my wife, Susan, for giving my life a sense of completeness without which no enterprise of this kind could have been sustained.

Thanks are due to the the editor of International Philosophical Quarterly for permission to reproduce material from my paper Wittgensteinian Methodology and Religious Belief which appeared in the journal in September 1999.

I am grateful to Cambridge University Press for permission to use material previously published in my papers Wolgast on Innocence, Philosophy 69 (1994) and Wittgensteinian Perspectives (Sub Specie Aeternitatis), Religious Studies 31 (1995).

Finally, thanks are due to Blackwell Publishers for permission to use material from my article From Detachment to Immersion: Wittgenstein and the Problem of Life, Ratio 12 (1999).
