Norman Malcolm

Norman Adrian Malcolm (/ˈmælkəm/; 11 June 1911 – 4 August 1990) was an American philosopher.

He saw a good deal of Wittgenstein during that time, and they continued to correspond frequently thereafter.

In 1947, Malcolm joined the faculty at Cornell University, where he taught until his retirement.

[3] His critique of Moore's articles on skepticism (and also on Moore's 'Here is a hand' argument) lay the foundation for the renewed interest in common sense philosophy and ordinary language philosophy.

[5][6] His argument is similar to those produced by Charles Hartshorne and Alvin Plantinga.
