cze	Etická zkoumání po Wittgensteinovi: Úvod	This introduction gives a brief orientation in current literature on Wittgenstein and ethics, and situates the present volume in the rich tradition of writing about ethics in the wake of Wittgenstein from the 1960s onwards, engaging the pioneering work of Stanley Cavell, Rush Rhees, Peter Winch, D. Z. Phillips, R. F. Holland, Raimond Gaita, and Cora Diamond, among others. It reviews a range of themes and features that are recurrent in the essays of the collection as well as in the tradition. These include a prominent and distinctive role for examples; the use of a “philosophical we”; an emphasis on philosophical investigations as “grammatical” rather than empirical or historical; a distinctive attempt to situate discourse beyond the dualism of relativism and objectivism/universalism; an emphasis on the personal in ethics; and a concern for moral “seriousness”. We indicate how contributions in the book embody these emphases, but also where they offer further developments and re-interpretations, especially on issues regarding conceptual and moral change.	příklady; filozofické my; gramatické dotazy; relativismus; univerzalismus; vážnost; pohled první osoby
