One assumption in debates about the relation between religion and science is that both are concerned with the same topic and that there is therefore conflict between the two. According to Wittgenstein's philosophy, on the other hand, religion and science are two different realms of language and therefore cannot be in conflict. To accept this view, we must abandon one of the most widely held views about theistic religions: God is a metaphysical reality. Zoheir Bagheri Noaparast examines Wittgenstein's texts and defends his views. He also argues that science and religion are not completely detached from one another and explores the possibility of interaction and mutual learning.
