Big Book (thought experiment)
The "Big Book" is a thought experiment developed by Ludwig Wittgenstein about the nature of ethics and the verifiability of ethical knowledge. This account is given by him in an early work, the 1929 ''Lecture on Ethics'', and it matches also his position given in the early ''Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus'' (Proposition 6.41).〔Stern, David, "Wittgenstein’s Lectures on Ethics, Cambridge 1933", ''Wittgenstein-Studien'', vol. 4, no. 1 (2013), pp. 203–5.〕〔Schulte, Joachim, ''Wittgenstein: An Introduction'' (SUNY Press, 1992), p. 71.〕
== The experiment ==
"No statement of fact can ever be, or imply, a judgment of absolute value. Suppose one of you were an omniscient person and therefore knew all the movements of all the bodies in the world dead or alive and that you also knew all the states of mind of all human beings that ever lived, and suppose you wrote all you knew in a big book, then this book would contain the whole description of the world; and what I want to say is, that this book would contain nothing that we would call an ethical judgment or anything that would logically imply such a judgment."〔Lecture on Ethics (1997) Ludwig Wittgenstein - Printed in Darwall, Gibbard, and Railton, “Moral Discourse and Practice: Some Philosophical Approaches, New York: Oxford University Press, pg. 67〕
