What does it mean for ethics to say, as Wittgenstein did, that
philosophy “leaves everything as it is”? Though clearly
absorbed with ethical questions throughout his life and work,
Wittgenstein's remarks about the subject do not easily lend
themselves to summation or theorizing. Although many moral
philosophers cite the influence or inspiration of Wittgenstein,
there is little agreement about precisely what it means to do
ethics in the light of Wittgenstein. Ethics after Wittgenstein
brings together an international cohort of leading scholars in the
field to address this problem. The chapters advance a conception of
philosophical ethics characterized by an attention to detail,
meaning and importance which itself makes ethical demands on its
practitioners. Working in conversation with literature and film,
engaging deeply with anthropology and critical theory, and
addressing contemporary problems from racialized sexual violence
against women to the Islamic State, these contributors reclaim
Wittgenstein's legacy as an indispensable resource for contemporary
ethics.
