Cora Diamond: Realism and the Realistic Spirit

Cora Diamond : Realism and the Realistic Spirit

notes: p.43

On philosophical glasses

1. "...the philosopher who takes himself to be wearing irremovable glasses does not take these to be distorting his view. The 'glasses' here are the underlying logical order of all thought... "

2. "Because he is convincedthat all thought must have his order, he is convinced that he is able to ee it in the reality of our actual thought and talk, even though the ways we think and speak do not (to what he takes to be a spuerficial view) appear to exhibit such an order."

3."The removal of the glasses is his being able to see properly what always was before him; what stood in the way of his removing them was a confused understanding of language."
