Observaciones sobre ética y comunicación. Kierkegaard y Wittgenstein

Abstract

We are concerned with the theme of the scholars who undertook the
combined analysis of the work of Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein, our aim being to point out the importance of this kind of approach to avoiding the insoluble confrontation between analytical and continental philosophy. In this context, we consider the questions which it is necessary to deal with so as to be in a position to undertake the combined analysis of both thinkers. This analysis is possible, not due to the themes which concern each thinker, and still less to the schools of thought which appropriated their works, but thanks rather to the significance which both Kierkegaard and Wittgenstein conceded to ethics when it came to conceptualizing the problems of contemporary philosophy. The two thinkers discussed moral problems starting from the confrontation between ethics and science, developing the epistemological inheritance left by Kant.
