To dismiss the differences and resemblances mentioned as superficial and unimportant does not seem to me to be reasonable, but this means that any attempt to assess the claim that Wittgenstein was striving for the same goal as that sought by Zen is not a simple and straightforward matter. The differences are such that they cannot be said to be seeking the same identical goal. On the other hand, the resemblances are good enough to make it unreasonable to assert that they are completely different. In view of this I think we can conclude that there is a resemblance between the goal of Wittgenstein and that of Zen, and by saying this I mean that the resemblance is of a significant and not merely of a superficial kind. To go further than this does not seem possible because any argument for drawing them closer together can be countered by good arguments for keeping them further apart and vice versa. When it is claimed that the two goals have a likeness or resemblance it is natural to want some more definite statement and to ask: "How alike and how unlike are they?" But such a question gives rise to other difficult and complex ones, which it would be out of place to try to answer here; for example, What are the criteria to be employed in reaching a decision and what kind of person is best qualified to act as judge or assessor in such a matter? Indeed, has such a question any answer at all or in what sense if any has it one?
