    Wittgenstein and cognitivism about religious belief
    International Journal for Philosophy of Religion 99 (2): 23. 2026.
    The cognitive vs. non-cognitive nature of religious belief and language has been a contentious issue for decades in philosophical discourse concerning Wittgenstein and his followers. One recent contribution to this topic is Alois Pichler and Sebastian Sunday Grève’s article “Cognitivism about Religious Belief in Later Wittgenstein” (2024), in which they seek to show that “the Wittgensteinian tradition has wrongly neglected a significant movement towards cognitivism in Wittgenstein’s later writin…Read more

    Puhdas katse - Rush Rheesin filosofia
    with Tero Massa
    Ajatus 76 (1): 191-227. 2019.
    Rush Rhees oli Ludwig Wittgensteinin oppilas, ystävä ja työtoveri, joka on toistaiseksi tullut parhaiten tunnetuksi opettajansa kirjoitusten tulkitsijana ja julkaisijana. Hän oli myös omaperäinen filosofi, jonka ajattelu on saanut osakseen varsin vähän huomiota. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan Rheesin filosofiakäsitystä, johon liittyvä tematiikka on Rheesin, samoin kuin Wittgensteinin, kohdalla erottamattomasti sidoksissa kysymykseen kielen, puhumisen ja ymmärtämisen mahdollisuudesta. Rhees aja…Read more

    D. Z. Phillips' contemplative conception of philosophy
    Neue Zeitschrift für Systematicsche Theologie Und Religionsphilosophie 53 (3): 333-356. 2011.
    This paper explores D. Z. Phillips' contemplative conception of the method and task of philosophy. I will start by describing two conceptions of philosophy which are rejected by Phillips and which, in his view, collide with contemplative philosophy. These have been called ‘philosophy as a guide of life’ and ‘the underlabourer conception of philosophy’. After that I will give an account of Phillips' Rheesian conception of the fundamental themes of philosophy: the nature of reality and the possibi…Read more

    Wittgenstein on Religious Disagreements
    Neue Zeitschrift für Systematicsche Theologie Und Religionsphilosophie 55 (1): 84-102. 2013.
    Summary Religious disagreement has recently been a popular topic in analytic philosophy of religion. Many of those who have dealt with the topic have done so from an assumption that logically there is no difference between disagreements on religious matters and disagreements on other areas of life. This assumption is called into question by Wittgenstein (and his followers). This paper explores how Wittgenstein’s view of religious disagreements should be understood. The main source of the study i…Read more
