It's quite interesting, I haven't read any philosophy like it before. As I'm not quite sure what his point is yet - I might have to read it two or three times again I can post you a link. It seems like it's right up your alley :)

ok i read a little about it, so gist is around how ethical propositions are formulated in language? reminds me of wittgenstein who put forth that ethics cannot be put into words

He does quote wittgenstein quite alot. I have to say, never have I been so challenged in reading the English language as I am right now. This guy is insane.

actually it reads easily compared to other philosophical work :p
Bullshit. I'm sure there are philosophers out there who are more complicated in their use of the English langauge than this guy, but we've covered 14 prominents ones and this one is the toughest. Or should I say, this guy is causing me the most trouble to read because his sentences are complicated, entwined and his use of words very diverse. :p

ok let me be honest, from the little i read, it seemed really easy to follow. try reading translation of the 19th/20th century germans or for long sentences the french :p
