A very down-to-earth analysis of Wittgenstein's comments on Frazer's "Golden Bough". It's not an insightful book, but I liked it that he takes Wittgenstein's comments, and those of the "Wittgenstein Fideists" (e.g., DZ Phillips), at face value and argues with them. For example, he argues that merely giving a "perspicuous representation" of a cultural practice doesn't exhaust the sorts of explanations of it than we can reasonably give. And that seems right. As does his claim that many of Wittgenstein's criticisms of Frazer are either trite or off-base.
