- Summary:
- Lurie (emeritus, Ben Gurion U., Israel) presents three philosophical studies examining and evaluating the thinking of Ludwig Wittgenstein on the spirit of human beings in culture. The first study concerns itself with Wittgenstein's commentary on Jewish and non-Jewish spirit in European culture and art; the second addresses Wittgenstein's understanding of the spiritual natures of art, culture, and civilization; and the third explores Wittgenstein's criticism of James George Frazer's account of myth, magic, and religion in The Golden Bough.
