Abstract
The diagnosis was already given by Wittgenstein himself, as early as in the Tractatus, and more clearly so in the Philosophical Investigations: the urge to solve certain “philosophical problems” is but a symptom of a philosophical disease. We could indeed say that Wittgenstein’s main concern all along his work was to furnish an efficient philosophical treatment to cure the philosopher’s illusions and a method (or some methods) to establish a new philosophical attitude by means of a new philosophical activity. Both the diagnosis and the suggested treatment had an enormous impact on contemporary philosophical reflection, which I would like to consider here from the point of view of the so-called “moral philosophy”, the fate of which is an open question to be reflected on in this paper. In what follows I will begin with a brief characterization of the referred Wittgensteinian attitude as it applies to some authors: especially Anscombe, Gaita and Elliott; and to try to draw a picture of an anti-theoretical and anti-metaphysical moral-philosophical activity; this picture will then be completed with the authors shared criticism of traditional moral philosophy – as first and clearly stated by Anscombe; finally, I will try to delineate some of the alternative possibilities open to the future of “moral philosophy” against mere exegesis and against the old, pedantic – and always haunting – purely speculative attitude.
http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1677-2954.2016v15n2p246O diagnóstico já fora dado por Wittgenstein ele mesmo, tão cedo quanto no Tractatus e mais claramente ainda nas Investigações Filosóficas: a urgência em se resolver certos “problemas filosóficos” não passa de um sintoma de doença filosófica. Poderíamos mesmo dizer que a principal preocupação de Wittgenstein ao longo de seu trabalho era aquela de fornecer um tratamento filosófico eficiente para a cura das ilusões do filósofo e um método (ou alguns métodos) para se determinar uma nova atitude filosófica por meio de uma nova atividade filosófica. Tanto o diagnóstico quanto o tratamento sugerido tiveram um enorme impacto sobre a reflexão filosófica contemporânea, a qual eu gostaria aqui de considerar desde o ponto de vista da assim chamada “filosofia moral”, cujo destino é a questão deixada em aberto por este artigo. No que se segue, eu vou começar por uma breve caracterização da referida atitude wittgensteiniana tal como aplicada a alguns autores: Anscombe, Gaita e Elliott, sobretudo; e tentar esboçar uma imagem de uma atividade filosófica que é principalmente (e moralmente) terapêutica; este quadro será então completado com a crítica compartilhada por estes autores à “filosofia moral tradicional” tal como primeiro e claramente atestada por Anscombe; finalmente, tentarei esboçar e exemplificar algumas das possibilidades alternativas abertas ao destino da “filosofia moral” contra a mera exegese e contra uma atitude academicista e pedante que parece estar sempre à espreita em nossas incursões normativas
