Abstract
Most of this chapter is about oppositions of those religious doctrines which recommend specific courses of action, but first we should develop the background for this a little further. The point of the B-series of utterances as a whole is to recommend a certain pattern of life; the point of the J-series is to recommend a different pattern. Let us ask a question whose force is logical rather than historical, the hypothetical question: How could these overall recommendations be opposed?
