Drury was one of Wittgenstein's closest friends or disciples, with whom he probably spoke most about religious topics. This revised edition contains Drury's principal work, The Danger of Words, and his equally important 'Some Notes on Conversations with Wittgenstein' and 'Conversations with Wittgenstein', as well as his reply to a review of The Danger of Words in Human World and a hitherto unpublished lecture given in Ireland in 1967. The new introduction contains a memoir of Drury as well as some commentary on his writings. This new edition will be of interest to philosophers, psychiatrists and theologians, and those interested in the life and thought of Wittgenstein.

The danger of words and writings on Wittgenstein
The text of five talks given by the author, who had been a pupil of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein decades before, to psychiatric medical colleagues: "Words and Transgressions," "Science and Psychology," "Concerning Body and Mind," "Hypotheses and Philosophy," and "Madness and Religion," plus a brief "Preface." It's quite short, just 137 pages.
To sum it up: "Wisdom demands that we remember constantly our ignorance."; "'The existence of experimental methods makes us think we have means of solving problems which trouble us; though problems and methods pass one another by.'"; "...however much the realm of what is explained is extended, the realm of the inexplicable is never reduced by one iota."; "The great philosophical danger in every natural science is to confuse an hypothesis with a fact."; and "The distinction between the pathological and religious state of mind cannot be made because it does not exist."
Deceptively simple and straightforward, it's worth some thought. Quite a bit, actually.
