Abstract

This article is a book review of "Nature as Guide: Wittgenstein and the Renewal of Moral Theology" by David Goodill. The reviewer highlights the clarity and directness of Wittgenstein's philosophy and argues that it can contribute to ethical thinking. The book explores the connections between Wittgenstein and philosophers such as Plato, Aristotle, Augustine, and Aquinas, emphasizing the importance of understanding the relationship between nature and reason. The reviewer suggests that Wittgenstein's philosophy can help overcome the modern dichotomy between moral and natural agency and offers valuable insights for moral theology.
