  abstract  = {This doctoral thesis seeks to elaborate how Wittgenstein's very sparse writings on ethics and ethical thought, together with his later work on the more general problem of normativity and his approach to philosophical problems as a whole, can be applied to contemporary meta-ethical debates about the nature of moral thought and language and the sources of moral obligation. I begin with a discussion of Wittgenstein's early "Lecture on Ethics", distinguishing the thesis of a strict fact/value dichotomy that Wittgenstein defends there from the related thesis that all ethical discourse is essentially and intentionally nonsensical, an attempt to go beyond the limits of sense. The first chapter discusses and defends Wittgenstein's argument that moral valuation always goes beyond any ascertaining of fact; the second chapter seeks to draw out the valuable insights from Wittgenstein's (early) insistence that value discourse is nonsensical while also arguing that this thesis is ultimately untenable and also incompatible with later Wittgensteinian understanding of language. On the basis of this discussion I then take up the writings of the American philosopher Cora Diamond, who has worked out an ethical approach in a very closely Wittgensteinian spirit, and show how this approach shares many of the valuable insights of the moral expressivism and constructivism of contemporary authors such as Blackburn and Korsgaard while suggesting a way to avoid some of the problems and limitations of their approaches. Subsequently I turn to a criticism of the attempts by Lovibond and McDowell to enlist Wittgenstein in the support for a non-naturalist moral realism. A concluding chapter treats the ways that a broadly Wittgensteinian conception expands the subject of metaethics itself by questioning the primacy of discursive argument in moral thought and of moral propositions as the basic units of moral belief.},

  abstract  = {In welcher Beziehung steht die praktische Philosophie zur Wirklichkeit der Menschenrechtsfragen in Recht und Politik? Wie kann und soll sie sich ihrem komplexen Gegenstand n{\"a}hern? Inwieweit kommt ihr die Aufgabe zu, politisches Geschehen konkret zu kommentieren und Vorschl{\"a}ge f{\"u}r die Implementierung menschenrechtstheoretischer Annahmen zu machen? Wie l{\"a}sst sie sich als anwendungsorientierte Disziplin denken, die jenseits reiner Begr{\"u}ndungsdiskurse einen Beitrag zur globalen St{\"a}rkung der Menschenrechtsidee leistet? Der vorliegende Sammelband geht diesen und verwandten Fragen in acht Beitr{\"a}gen mit jeweils einem Kommentar nach und regt damit zum Nachdenken {\"u}ber das Selbstverst{\"a}ndnis zeitgen{\"o}ssischer Menschenrechtsphilosophie an.},
