i'm thinking about subjects for the final work of my philosophy degree and i thought about something that could mix ethics with analytic philosophy
I know that Wittgenstein gave a speech where he talks about ethics as something "supernatural", G. E. Moore and his common sense also is near the ethics subject, Based Sokal and his Intellectual Impostures (though it can be far away from the ethics thing) and some Russell things, though he can get too political sometimes and i don't want my work to be a political centered thing
What can /lit/ recommend?
you're not doing a philosophy degree or you would know ethics is live and well in analytic philosophy, a vibrant field, not something you'd need to 'mix'
stop baiting, go read a fucking book

Jesus christ, i know, but in one hand we have the political-ethics and i don't want to get into that, neither into the science ethics. I want to see the meta-ethic sense, like Wittgenstein in his conference. Discussing the meaning and the value of ethics from an analytic perspective

Btw, my university is purely continental, here in Spain people is talking Lacan and bullshit like that, we only studied a little of Analytic philosophy and even less about the ethics of that branch

Be very careful when talking about ethics with regards to Wittgenstein. You might want to start with his Remarks on The Golden Bough and "A Lecture on Ethics" itself. Don't try and expound a non-ethical / linguistic / theory of mind sentence or proposition of Wittgenstein to provide some insight into his views on ethics.
But really you'll end up talking about Kierkegaard somewhere down the line, I feel.

>Based Sokal
Feyerabend?
Kant's proof of morality from conscience?
William James' "Will to Believe?"

>Discussing the meaning and the value of ethics from an analytic perspective
what are you on about? there are a million and a half writers working on ethics in the analytic tradition, from an "analytic perspective." You're gonna have to narrow your focus quite a bit. And if it's your final project for your degree you probably want to do it on something you've already studied, rather than a field you just today discovered existed.
