en-wikipedia-org-5408		John McDowell - Wikipedia			.html	text/html	5459	484	57	John Henry McDowell (born 7 March 1942) is a South African philosopher, formerly a Fellow of University College, Oxford and now University Professor at the University of Pittsburgh. In these early exchanges and in the parallel debate over the proper understanding of Wittgenstein's remarks on rule-following, some of McDowell's characteristic intellectual stances were formed: to borrow a Wittgensteinian expression, the defence of a realism without empiricism, an emphasis on the human limits of our aspiration to objectivity, the idea that meaning and mind can be directly manifested in the action, particularly linguistic action, of other people, and a distinctive disjunctive theory of perceptual experience. In parallel with the development of this work on mind and language, McDowell also made significant contributions to moral philosophy, specifically meta-ethical debates over the nature of moral reasons and moral objectivity.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5408.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5408.txt
