In this paper I offer a novel interpretation of Wittgenstein's claim that ‘ethics is transcendental’ (TLP 6.421). Initially, I set out to offer said interpretation by resorting to both Wittgenstein's understanding of ethics and his understanding of the transcendentality of logic—which entails taking Wittgenstein as endorsing a Kantian understanding of the notion ‘transcendental’. This leads to the claim that ethics is transcendental insofar as it is the condition of a certain ethical experience. Nevertheless, this interpretation involves some inadequacies due to certain incompatibilities between the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus and the aforementioned Kantian understanding of the notion ‘transcendental’. I identify the peculiarities of Wittgenstein's understanding of the notion ‘transcendental’, and on this basis, I set forth a novel interpretation of 6.421. Specifically, I argue that ethics is transcendental insofar as it is internal to or constitutive of a certain mystical view: viewing the world sub specie aeterni as something valuable.

“伦理是先验的”（Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus，6.421）

在这篇论文中，我对维特根斯坦关于“伦理是先验的”（TLP 6.421）的主张提供了一种新颖的解释。最初，我着手通过诉诸维特根斯坦对伦理学的理解和他对逻辑的先验性的理解来提供上述解释——这需要将维特根斯坦视为认可对“先验”概念的康德式理解。这导致了这样一种主张，即伦理是先验的，因为它是某种伦理经验的条件。然而，由于两者之间的某些不兼容，这种解释存在一些不足之处。逻辑哲学论以及前面提到的康德对“先验”概念的理解。我确定了维特根斯坦对“先验”概念的理解的特殊性，并在此基础上提出了对 6.421 的新解释。具体来说，我认为伦理是先验的，因为它是某种神秘观点的内在或构成：将世界亚种永恒视为有价值的东西。
