Abstract

<p>Ordinary ethics is a term used by anthropologists to understand the ethical feature of human lives by employing the concept of Ordinary Language Philosophy (OLP). In this article, I attempt to unravel a part of its rich potential by examining some anthropological works that draw on the teaching of OLP, especially Cora Diamond’s article "The Difficulty of Reality and the Difficulty of Philosophy." In particular, I introduce two different paths of her work as guidance to approach the life of the vulnerable other. One is to attend to the other’s often unarticulated and obscured reality through the use of "imagistic language." Another is to write recognizing that one may always dismiss the other’s pain when an acknowledgment is most needed. These approaches are applied to revisit my field note taken during my stay in Sri Lanka, to explore other modes of writing about ethical issues, such as care and disregard.</p>
