This volume showcases contemporary, ground-up ethical essays in the
tradition of Wittgenstein’s broader philosophy and
Wittgenstein-inspired ethical reflection. It takes the ethical
relevance of Wittgenstein as a substantial and solid starting point
for a broad range of ongoing thinking about contemporary ethical
issues. The texts are organised in two sections. The first consists
of chapters exploring questions around what could be called the
“grammar” of our moral forms of life, and thus represents a
more traditional approach in ethics after Wittgenstein. The second
part represents a recent turn in the tradition towards
investigating moral conceptions, perspectives and concepts that are
undergoing change, either because the world itself is changing (for
instance with new technologies) or because human agency, such as
social movements, has brought us to reconsider previously
unquestioned ideas and structures. Within the book, the authors’
contributions are inspired, in their ways of working with ethical
questions, by Wittgenstein’s conceptions of language,
understanding and the nature of philosophical inquiry. This book is
of interest to philosophers influenced by Wittgenstein, as well as
to all ethicists seeking ideas for how to do philosophy in a manner
close to lived experience and practice.
