"Amoral persons either do not possess ethical notions at all as a result of upbringing .. or else do not subscribe to any moral code" (Wikipedia)

While Wittgenstein held that ethical principles were among the things that could only be "shown" not "said", like basic logical rules, the exceptionally rigorous code against which he judged himself throughout his life makes it odd to describe him as "amoral" either in theory or practice.
