A real book on ethics, as Wittgenstein had it, if one could
conceive it in the first place, would be the book to destroy all
other books. Yet there is an increasing number of real-world
discourses in which ethical values are mobilized as justifications
for socio-political action while, in turn, moral problems are
becoming a topic of political negotiation. Although it will be
difficult to find systematic accounts of an absolute good or of
absolute values in these debates, it is equally difficult to
imagine them not being deeply informed by such considerations.
Rather than merely adding to the corpus of applied ethics on the
one hand or remaining in seemingly Wittgensteinian silence about
ethics on the other, many contributions to this volume explore the
reach of what can be said in ethical terms, while others provide
critical discussions of what is being said in various fields of
applied ethics and political philosophy under real-world power
relations. This volume collects invited contributions from the 35th
International Wittgenstein Symposium 2012 in Kirchberg am Wechsel,
Austria. Authors include: Alice Crary, Peter Dabrock, Rom Harre,
Agnes Heller, Jaakko Hintikka, Peter Koller, Anton Leist, Chantal
Mouffe, Julian Nida-Rumelin, Hans Sluga, David Stern, Gianni
Vattimo.
