Invent Yourself scripsit: > The world where I drank the cocoa the other night is impossible. Is this so because (1) of facts about you and cocoa, or (2) because you think it logically impossible, like the "true" = "false" world, or (3) because you are one of those people, the name for which I forget, who believes that whatever happens is what must happen, or to restate this, whatever can happen, does happen? -- John Cowan jcowan@hidden.email www.reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan Consider the matter of Analytic Philosophy. Dennett and Bennett are well-known. Dennett rarely or never cites Bennett, so Bennett rarely or never cites Dennett. There is also one Dummett. By their works shall ye know them. However, just as no trinities have fourth persons (Zeppo Marx notwithstanding), Bummett is hardly known by his works. Indeed, Bummett does not exist. It is part of the function of this and other e-mail messages, therefore, to do what they can to create him.
