Inwardness and Sociability: A Reply to C arter

C arter argues that W ittgensteinian moral philosophy – typified by the work of R aimond G aita and C hristopher C ordner – rests on shaky foundations because it vacillates between grounding moral judgements in grammar and in a form of life. In this article, I respond to C arter's criticism. I defend W ittgensteinian moral philosophy by showing that G aita and C ordner specifically repudiate the purported dichotomy between grammar and a form of life. I then go on to explain why W ittgensteinian moral philosophers are right not to try to ground moral judgements in features of a shared form of life.
