Barnaby Burleigh

I am a Harper-Schmidt Fellow and Collegiate Assistant Professor at the University of Chicago. My main interests are in Wittgenstein and Ethics, particularly in the ways in which Wittgenstein’s approach to realism has been inherited in contemporary moral philosophy. I am currently working on a monograph concerning the question what it might mean to do ethics in a realistic spirit, based on the works of Cora Diamond and Charles Taylor, and on a paper about Elizabeth Anscombe’s views on sense and nonsense. My other interests include the Philosophy of Religion, the Philosophy of Language, and various topics in the History of Philosophy.
