“A philosopher of ordinary language had brought his limpid vernacular to bear on problems of formal logic.”

The best opening line in the history of philosophy book reviewing? Quine on Strawson.

What or who killed Frank Ramsey? A brilliant philosopher dies aged just 26 while preparing a treatise on the nature of truth. Why he died is a medical mystery almost a century old, which kept five professors (medicine & philosophy) amused for months. Enjoy!

Am increasingly getting requests to send references I’m writing to the candidate so they can include it with their application. I know it cuts down admin but it’s awful. References are already degraded. How can anyone possibly take seriously a reference that is so open?

Very nice obituary in The Guardian of my teacher and friend Bob Stern, written by another one of his students Josh Forstenzer.
