Cora Diamond: The Realistic Spirit

Cora Diamond: The Realistic Spirit

Philosophy as liberating (p.32-33)

1."The way philosophy liberates is...connected with the significance of 'use' and of willingness or unwillingness to look to the use for what it enables us to see."

2."...philosophy as liberating is thus tied to an ability to look at the use without imposing on it what one thinks must already be there in it."

3."...an expression is not presented timelessly--its use is not given -- by the general form of the propositions it characterizes; use can be seen only as belonging to the spatial, temporal phenomenon of language."
