nonsensical definition
nonsensical means „lack of factual sense‟. Wittgenstein then affirmed what is nonsense is important nonsense. Can we say what is meaningless is important meaningless? We do not have a clear view in logical positivism. They determine the criterion of meaningfulness and based on that they declare that religious and metaphysical assertions are meaningless. But I think Wittgenstein‟s position is different. Even many commentators would say that unlike logical positivists Wittgenstein has high regard for religion. Actually, Wittgenstein asserts religious assertions as nonsense to keep the sanctity of religion per se. It is reflected in his later philosophical writings where he conceives religion as the form of life. Religion, for Wittgenstein, is an integral part of our life. Religion is life, religion is our culture. Religion determines the value of the world. Man can determine the meaning of life just by way of knowing religion as a form of life. Thus, even though at face value Wittgenstein in his early writings has been influenced by logical positivism, but his understanding of religion is something different from logical positivism. He gives honour and dignity to religion because he reveals that religion is dealing with absolute value instead of contingent value.
