An increasing number of philosophers are coming to appreciate the value of making our discipline constructively available to those whose lives are chiefly focused on some form of practical activity. It is natural that philosophers specializing in ethics would be in the forefront of this movement toward"applied philosophy." They correctly recognize that many, if not most, ethical problems facing all of us arise in our occupational lives: we are often expected to conduct ourselves"at work" in ways which appear to conflict with the ethical principles believed valid in other social relationships; in our occupations themselves certain normally accepted practices sometimes seem to contradict each other; in short, ethical dilemmas of enormous proportion face the morally conscientious person. The convergence of these contemporary developments has created a need for appropriate teaching materials. The Occupational Ethics Series is designed to meet this need. Each volume has been written by a philosopher, with the advice or collaboration of a practitioner in a particular occupation.

Midwest Studies in Philosophy: Philosophy and the Arts

This addition to the "Midwest Studies in Philosophy" series comprises the most recent volume on the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein to date. Here 16 philosophers explore both the challenges Wittgenstein presented to philosophy as well as the responses to those challenges from such noted thinkers as Kripke. By addressing various questions raised by Wittgenstein's work, these original essays aim to illuminate in one way or another the impact Wittgenstein's legacy has had on 20th-century philosophy.
