Linguagem moral e relativismo na filosofia de Ludwig Wittgenstein

Abstract

Wittgenstein's philosophy has been evidenced as an important landmark for the analysis of language with reflection in several areas of philosophy and with deep ethical implications and developments. This paper aims to analyze the moral language and relativism in the thought of the Austrian philosopher. In this direction, an exposition will be made of the notions of philosophy and ethical implications arising from Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and Philosophical Investigations. It will also be identified some points of wittgensteinian epistemology from his work On Certainty, important for the discussion of relativism in the author's work. The justification for the elaboration of the study finds its relevance in the presentation of clear and objective material on moral language and relativism in Wittgenstein, and, as a result, the understanding of the usefulness of wittgensteinian postulates in confronting philosophical problems related to morality and relativism. In relation to the methodological procedures, the research carried out involved a bibliographic collection, gathering the position of authorized commentators who play a leading role in today’s debate on the theme in question.
