Cora Diamond (born 1937〔(DNB )〕 in New York City) is an American philosopher who works on Ludwig Wittgenstein, Gottlob Frege, moral philosophy, political philosophy, philosophy of language, and philosophy and literature. She is currently the Kenan Professor of Philosophy Emerita at the University of Virginia. One of Diamond's most famous articles, ''What Nonsense Might Be'', criticizes the way that the logical positivists think about nonsense on Fregean grounds (See category mistake). Another well-known article, ''Eating Meat and Eating People'', examines the rhetorical and philosophical nature of contemporary attitudes towards animal rights. Diamond's writings on both "early" (''Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus'' era) and "late" (''Philosophical Investigations'' era) Wittgenstein have made her a leading influence in the New Wittgenstinian approach advanced by Alice Crary, James F. Conant, and others. Diamond has published a collection of essays titled ''The Realistic Spirit: Wittgenstein, Philosophy, and the Mind.'' She is the editor of ''Wittgenstein's Lectures on the Foundations of Mathematics: Cambridge 1939,'' a collection of lectures assembled from the notes of Wittgenstein's students Norman Malcolm, Rush Rhees, Yorick Smythies, and R.G. Bosanquet. ''Wittgenstein and the Moral Life: Essays in Honor of Cora Diamond'' (edited by Alice Crary〔http://mitpress.mit.edu/books/wittgenstein-and-moral-life〕) features essays by Crary, John McDowell, Martha Nussbaum, Stanley Cavell, and James F. Conant, among others. Diamond received her BA from Swarthmore College in 1957 and her BPhil from Oxford University in 1961. ==See also== * American philosophy * List of American philosophers 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cora Diamond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
