Featured D8 EBM & CQI Article by Dr. Joseph Kaempf
Wittgenstein wrote that all of ethics was outside the realm of language. For him, the whole point of ethics would be lost if it were but straightforward cognition of something objective that resides in the world, like a tree or gravity or a chair. This is a deceptively transcendent and marvelous insight that is lost on many physicians and bioethicists who write about healthcare morality, just my opinion. Fortunately, other influential writers share Wittgenstein’s viewpoint, and deserve study.
