Résumé
This paper explores some of the issues related to Wittgenstein�s famous comment to Drury �that he himself, while not a religious person, could not avoid contemplating all questions from a religious perspective� that might contribute to an understanding of the final meaning of the philosophical practice distinctive of Wittgenstein�s last period. This paper aims at showing that final meaning is the immunization of the religious form of the life . In order to reach this conclusion we will first recall the importance of clarity as an absolute goal of Wittgenstein�s philosophy, and see how it is connected to a specific attitude toward the explanatory claims of conventional philosophy. Then we will summarize the essence of Wittgenstein�s philosophical analysis of religious discourse and review some crucial texts that highlight the peculiar religiosity unique to Wittgenstein.
