ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book finds all the elements of the Wittgensteinian position can be understood as having their sitz im leben or context in life in the 'Weltbild of self-concern'. It provides a distinct form of self-renunciation which has no place for the kind of self-concern that is integral to the form of selfrenunciation which has permeated into and lies at the core of the Wittgensteinian position. In the Wittgensteinian position the concept of self-renunciation has a much more fundamental place than these concepts. Self-renunciation is the concept that supposedly demarcates authentic from inauthentic religion. It is the Wittgensteinain position's understanding of self-renunciation that promotes in that position an oversimple view of the way the religious believer is related to the world. Such a relation is supposed to consist of the self's uniform conceptual subsumption involving unreflectiveness.
