Reasons for Acting
It is occasionally desirable to take an overview of quite a wide area of philosophy: what one loses in detail one gains in perspective. I follow this procedure in the present paper. Ia m concerned with the whole area where we indulge in practical deliberation, or where we attempt to justify some course of action we propose to follow or have followed. To do this I investigate the nature of a reason for acting and how such reasons can enter into an…
In Defence of Virtue
I never thought that one of my sex and proclivities would be called upon to defend his virtue. Reading Mr. Henderson's article, ‘Mr. Wheatley's Virtue: A Philosophical Examination’ ( Dialogue , March, 1967), convinces me otherwise
Philosophy and Linguistics
My task in this article is to discuss some of the recent research in linguistics and its relation, if any, to the traditional problems of philosophy. I do this in the light of two recently published books, more the first than the second. My problem is that there is so much to say, both about linguistics and about the books, that much must be left unsaid. For- instance, Chomsky has an extended discussion of the notion of innate ideas (pp. 47–59) a…

Meaning and meaning fulness in Fries
This paper is an attempt to deal with some of the things C. C. Fries has to say about meaning and to offer criticisms of the meaningfulness of some of the words and concepts he introduces and dismisses. This requires a good deal of preliminary work which, however, also has the merit of showing the sort of systematic error I would claim Fries makes

How Austin does things with words
Professor J. L. Austin published only reluctantly during his life time so that we are getting much of his major work after his death. I think this an enormous pity as there would be much to be learned from his answers to the criticisms which have already been given to his books by critical reviewers. I differ from many of the reviewers in that I think How To Do Things With Words is one of the most important books, if not the most important, to co…
