    Abstract

    This chapter concerns Cora Diamond’s question at the end of her essay “Realism and the Realistic Spirit” about what realism, or as she puts it “the realistic sprit,” might involve in moral philosophy. To quote her, “What about realism in moral philosophy? Might one say: ‘Not utilitarianism but still realism in moral philosophy, that is the hardest thing’" (Diamond 1995, 70).
