 As in the previous stage, the debate here has to do with the question of ethics and its centrality in reading Wittgenstein’s oeuvre. According to the traditional approach, amplified in Hacker and Baker’s interpretive project, Wittgenstein’s main objective is to resolve or dissolve general philosophical puzzles – concerning, e.g., the mind, the nature of color, perception, and rule-following – by clarifying, arranging, and contrasting different grammatical rules relevant to the notion examined. This is an intellectual investigation and, apart from its being critical of traditional philosophy and its reflection in contemporary science, it has nothing particularly relevant to ethics and should not be read as an ethical endeavor. Readers taking their cue from Cavell, on the other hand, believe that the gist of the Wittgensteinian effort in toto is ethical, cultural, or even political. They point at the Investigations’ motto (“The trouble about progress is that it always looks much greater than it really is” – Nestroy) and Wittgenstein’s mention of “the darkness of this time” in the book’s Preface; but more substantially, they argue that Wittgenstein’s insistence on the ordinary, the practice of every-day living, is ethical through and through. Our lives are saturated by ethics; we are members of a historically and culturally conditioned society; and our linguistic practices cannot but have an important ethical aspect. Ignoring this aspect, according to these interpreters, entails a rejection of what is human in our linguistic exchanges.
