Wittgenstein's philosophical achievement lies in the development of
a new philosophical method rather than in the elaboration of a
particular philosophical system. Dr Paul Johnston applies this
innovative method to the central problems of moral philosophy:
whether there can be 'truth' in ethics, or what the meaning of
objectivity might mean in the context of moral deliberation.
Wittgenstein and Moral Philosophy, first published in 1989,
represents the first serious and rigorous attempt to apply
Wittgenstein's method to ethics. The conclusions arrived at differ
radically from those dominating contemporary ethical discussion,
revealing an immense discrepancy between the ethical concepts
employed in everyday moral decision-making and the way in which
these are discussed by philosophers. Dr Johnston examines ways of
eliminating this discrepancy in order to gain a clearer picture of
the proper nature of moral claims, and at the same time provides
new insights into Wittgenstein's conception of philosophy.
