| Summary: | In the epistemology of the late Wittgenstein, a central place is given to the notion of the hinge: an arational commitment that provides a foundation of some sort for the rest of our beliefs.

I consider in this paper what it takes to find the appropriate hinge for a quasi-fideist approach to the epistemology of religion. |
