Conferencia Sobre ética by Ludwig Wittgenstein

A reflection on the limits of language in matters of morality, it argues that judgments about absolute value cannot be meaningfully stated as facts, even though they express a profound human tendency toward the transcendent. It distinguishes verifiable, relative value claims from absolute ethical and aesthetic claims, uses experiences like safety, guilt, and wonder at existence to illustrate this gap, and concludes that ethics is transcendental—something shown in a way of life rather than said in propositions.
