ABSTRACT

This introduction presents an overview of key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book examines Wittgenstein's Investigations about Communal Agreement and Objectivity. Two topics that seem most relevant to the contributions to this book. One concerns the relationship between 'private language argument', another concerns the moral objectivity. According to Wittgenstein, the lesson of anthropocentricity is taken to be that objectivity, be it in the case of morals or mathematics, amounts to nothing more than de facto shared attitudes. In Wittgenstein's view, of certain fragments of natural language, how can it help to show that the private language is not fully imaginable. Remainder of this introduction takes about albeit in a rather limited fashion. Perhaps a moral objectivist position which attempted to synthesize this concern with another Wittgensteinian theme, the role of community and practice in concept formation, in the form of reflections on the societal conditions under which the language that men employ to record themselves.
