- Title
Korsgaard, Wittgenstein, and the Mafioso.
- Authors
LeBar, Mark
- Abstract
The article offers the authors insights regarding the argument of Christine Korsgaard on the incident between Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan. The author states that the argument of Korsgaard is similar with the private language argument of Ludwig Wittgenstein, in which Korsgaard argues that reasons can not be private. He also mentions that the failure of the Wittgenstein argument and Korsgaard's attack on private reasons is being reflected on how she handled the Mafioso case.
