This work will be devoted to the study of the possibility of interfaith discourse on the basis of the ideas of Wittgenstein's late philosophy. Interfaith discourse is a rather complex and multifaceted phenomenon, and the specificity is that the complexity of the founder is not based on actual arguments or conclusions, but on ethical preferences, beliefs and opinions. It is important to assess that the diversity stems not only from the variability of the texts of the Abrahamic religions and the corresponding specifics of religion, but also from the transformation of fundamental religious concepts over many centuries. It is necessary to trace the initial understanding of fundamental concepts in religions, to show what has been introduced by various philosophical and religious traditions, and then to reconstruct all these components within the framework of the late philosophy of Wittgenstein. At the end, on the basis of all the above points, to reconstruct the supposed system of interfaith discourse within the framework of analytical philosophy, but also to develop it, adding the original fundamental concepts in the framework of the Wittgenstein’s philosophy of language.
