A Synoptic Approach to Ethics

Authors

Daniel García Universidad de los Andes ,

It seems strange that Ludwig Wittgenstein does not explicitly mention or deal with issues related to ethics in the Philosophical Investigations and most of the works following the Tractatus Logico-philosophicus. With this in mind, in this paper, I would like to deal with the place of ethical questions in the “new way of guiding thought” developed by Wittgenstein throughout his post-Tractatus works. The objective of this paper is to outline a conception of ethics in the late thought of Wittgenstein, who, despite devoting very few lines to these issues following the Tractatus, provides elements to develop a possible ethical conception in the framework of his late thought. To this end, I will first describe some central aspects of the Lecture on Ethics that should be present in Wittgenstein’s conception of ethics. Secondly, I will present Wittgenstein’s new way of thinking, most fully expressed in the Philosophical Investigations. In the last section of the paper, I will try to articulate the different aspects of ethics in a manner consistent with Wittgenstein’s late thinking, which I hope will stand out throughout this paper.
