Summary

This text uses the work of ethicist Stanley Hauerwas as a foil for showing how Wittgenstein's method can become concrete in the Christian tradition. It shows that Wittgenstein's aim to cultivate concrete skill in people was akin to Aristotle's emphasis on the relationship of reason and ethics.

Ethics as Grammar Summary

Ethics as Grammar: Changing the Postmodern Subject by Brad J. Kallenberg

Wittgenstein, one of the most influential, and yet widely misunderstood, philosophers of our age, confronted his readers with aporias-linguistic puzzles-as a means of countering modern philosophical confusions over the nature of language without replicating the same confusions in his own writings. In Ethics as Grammar, Brad Kallenberg uses the writings of theological ethicist Stanley Hauerwas as a foil for demonstrating how Wittgenstein's method can become concrete within the Christian tradition. Kallenberg shows that the aesthetic, political, and grammatical strands epitomizing Hauerwas's thought are the result of his learning to do Christian ethics by thinking through Wittgenstein.

Ethics as Grammar Reviews

Brad Kallenberg, in this extraordinary book, has done several things simultaneously. First, he has demonstrated his own mastery of the work of both Ludwig Wittgenstein and Stanley Hauerwas. Second, he has interestingly displayed, as he puts it, the family resemblance between the writings of Wittgenstein and Hauerwas. Third, and most importantly, he uses Wittgenstein's writings to show that Hauerwas is only sectarian or tribalist or fideist in ways that all of us are. This latter claim is at least one way of stating the overall purpose of the book. -Studies in Christian Ethics * Studies in Christian Ethics *
