Emily Elizabeth Constance Jones (19 February 1848 – 9 April 1922) was an English philosopher and educator. She worked in logic and ethics. ==Life and career== (Emily Elizabeth) Constance Jones was born at Langstone Court, Llangarren, Herefordshire to John Jones and his wife, Emily, daughter of Thomas Oakley JP, of Monmouthshire. She was the eldest of ten children. Constance was mostly tutored at home. She spent her early teenage years with her family in Cape Town, South Africa, and when they returned to England in 1865 she attended a small school, Miss Robinson's, in Cheltenham, for a year. She spent two months being coached for the entrance examination for Girton College, Cambridge by a Miss Alice Grüner in Sydenham. She went up to Girton in 1875 where, prompted by having read Henry Fawcett's ''Political Economy'' (1863) and Mill's ''Logic'' (1843), she chose the Moral Sciences Tripos. However, she almost immediately had to withdraw in order to look after the aunt with whom she then lived. Her undergraduate career was considerably interrupted because the education of her younger brothers took precedence over her own, but despite this in 1880 she was awarded a first class in the Moral Sciences Tripos. She returned to Girton in 1884 as a research student and a resident lecturer in Moral Sciences. Having studied with Henry Sidgwick, James Ward and J.N. Keynes, she completed the translation of Lotze's ''Mikrokosmus'' initiated by Elizabeth Hamilton. She also edited Henry Sidgwick's ''Methods of Ethics'' (1901) and his ''Ethics of Green, Spencer, and Martineau'' (1902); and wrote ''Elements of Logic'' (1890); ''A Primer of Logic'' (1905); ''A Primer of Ethics'' (1909); ''A New Law of Thought and its Logical Bearing'' (1911); ''Girton College'' (1913). She was Mistress of Girton College, Cambridge, from 1903 until her retirement in 1916. Jones was one of the first women to join the Aristotelian Society in 1892, serving on the Society's Executive Committee from 1914 to 1916. She was also the first woman recorded as having delivered a paper to the Cambridge University Moral Sciences Club. She spoke about James Ward's ''Naturalism and Agnosticism'' on 1 December 1899, with the philosopher Henry Sidgwick chairing the meeting.〔Pitt, Jack. ("Russell and the Cambridge Moral Sciences Club" ), "Russell: the Journal of Bertrand Russell Studies: Vol. 1, issue 2, article 3, winter 1982, appendix. p. 116ff.〕 Her views were regarded as original and influenced her colleagues. She spent her career developing the idea that categorical propositions are composed of a predicate and a subject related via identity or non-identity. 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「Constance Jones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
