Abstract
The chapter analyzes the role of philosophical style in the approach to ethical issues as practiced by Ludwig Wittgenstein and, partly in his wake, by Stanley Cavell and Cora Diamond. Its main focus is on their shared assumption that the personal and truly intimate dimension of morals is not an affair of some silent interiority, but is inseparable from its own linguistic expression.
Hence the importance of ethics as a choir of voices participating in the ongoing "conversation of mankind".
