Ludwig Wittgenstein developed two seminal works that marked distinct stages in his philosophical trajectory: the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and the Philosophical Investigations. Together, these works provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution of Wittgenstein's thought, ranging from a logical and structural analysis of language to a more pragmatic and contextual exploration. In both Wittgenstein talks about relevant topics, such as language, its use and meaning and logic. Despite having constructed two distinct phases of thought, we will realize that the basis of his arguments comes from the analysis of language, sometimes as something underlying reality from a logical space in the case of the Tractatus, sometimes as inserted into everyday life based on the idea of ' language games' in Investigations. From this perspective, we intend to investigate the possibility of there being some space in these works that could deal with ethics. In the Tractatus we have some direct references to the topic. In the Investigations we see the word ‘ethics’ appear in § 77. If we have this theme mentioned, even in a few moments, it must have some meaning for Wittgenstein. We will begin this analysis starting from some arguments contained in the Tractatus and then we will analyze the Investigations observing whether there is a more precise relationship between these two works and ethics, following the Austrian philosopher's line of reasoning. With this approach we aim to understand whether discourse about ethics is possible in this author's two phases.
