“the language is not a cage”. On Wittgenstein’s ethic

Abstract

Wittgenstein held the idea that the ethical, aesthetic and religious great problems, appear when language was in holidays. In his Conference about ethics (1930), he did an analysis of the meaning of ethics based on language, with some background in the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1918). Actually, this philosopher said that the terms used on ethics are vague and end up staying in the nonsense. All this is, in large part, because of confusion between statements of facts and value judgments. The purpose of this reflection is made explicit the arguments that Wittgenstein develops to maintain this moral, in order to put it into place within the Western ethical proposals.
