This text expounds and analyzes the argument of Wittgenstein's "Remarks on Frazer's Golden Bough". It details the reasons for Wittgenstein's rejection of the intellectualist theory of religion, and suggests a new interpretation of his rival view of ritual. Denying that Wittgenstein's account is straightforwardly expressivist, the author builds his own interpretation on Wittgenstein's claim that magic is akin to metaphysics. The author considers such matters as expressivism, "perspicuous representation", the nature of human sacrifice, and Wittgenstein's cultural pessimism.
