Employing the linguistic philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein as ‘philosophical hand-maid’ (as opposed to ‘metaphysical gate-keeper’, which has tended to be the case), it subjects to critique both traditional realist and post-modern constructivist perspectives as it examines how the nature and role of metaphor-making at the creative edge of language casts light on the God-language-world relationship. It concludes that a Wittgensteinian understanding of the relationship between language and world is not only compatible with a ‘theistic-realist’ doctrine of God but that the shape of this doctrine is inescapably Trinitarian.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: The Case for Language-Games as Basic – The Consequences of Language-Games as Basic – A Wittgensteinian Explanation of Metaphor – Metaphorising – Inventions and Inculcations – Metaphorising, Actuality and Possibility – Metaphorised Worlds – Metaphorising and Revelation – Language-Games and Grace – The Case for a ‘Language-Game Theology’.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043608101207,"sku":"9783034302302","price":49.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783034302302.jpg?v=1750958856","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/word-words-and-world-how-a-wittgensteinian-perspective-on-metaphor-making-reveals-the-theo-logic-of-reality-9783034302302","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
