This article presents the author's response to Paul Standish's "Registers of the Religious". Addressing what he calls the "global", Paul Standish starts from MacIntyre's observation that people live in a world characterized by a vocabulary of value whose purchase on life is no longer authentically experienced: "MacIntyre's diagnosis of the impoverished condition relates to the severing of such vocabularies from the communities that gave them meaning, and in many respects he understands the continuities and commonalities of those communities in "religious" terms. Standish discusses McLaughlin's (1995) position that a Wittgensteinian approach does not supplant the Liberal Rational position but rather enriches it. For Standish, McLaughlin is not radical enough: ". . . if the [Wittgensteinian] critique is properly pursued, it fatefully undermines that position [i.e., the Liberal Rational view], as well as the prevailing liberal secularism of this age." Here, the author has three kinds of "comments": first, those which have to do with minor issues--though given the importance of "examples" in this position, the author thinks he should draw attention to a number of elements that may raise questions; second, he has some queries on fundamental Wittgensteinian issues and the way Standish uses his insights; finally, and of course not unrelated to the first two, he has some questions. He is not sure what Standish is really trying to argue for and/or establish. (Contains 2 notes.)
