⁶⁵ Brümmer argues that ‘religious faith entails some form of critical realism regarding the ontological status of religious models or ‘pictures’’ and believes that a Wittgensteinian language-game theory, if founded on factual belief more broadly conceived than DZ Philips’ ‘old-fashioned [empirical] verificationist definition’ could aid this.
