Luther also favored the princes over the peasants. And I have why Wittgenstein (who I see as Peirce in different clothing) would not have merited a Nobel over Russell. I have not weighed in on this theological conversation as I am in the midst of a consideration which harks back to Tillich's famous god beyond god remark. I am seeing a Word that is rather independent of the force that is the moving and still evolving cosmos which is what it is. In effect we play a part perhaps in inventing God due to our dialogic nature. Well this is not clear but it is why I have not weighed in.
