Maurice O'Connor Drury

Maurice O'Connor Drury (known as 'Con Drury' to his friends) (1907 – 1976) was an English psychiatrist born in Exeter, Devon, England, of Irish parents.

He was a student of philosophy taught by Ludwig Wittgenstein at Trinity College, Cambridge and became Wittgenstein's friend for many years to come, until the latter's death in 1951.

After studying philosophy Drury went on to become a psychiatrist.

Drury was the author of "The danger of words and writings on Wittgenstein" (ISBN 1-84371-045-5, also published as "The Danger of Words") and "Conversations avec Ludwig Wittgenstein" with Jean-Pierre Cometti (ISBN 2-13-051558-4).
