| biography:
| British philosopher. He studied at Cambridge, and became professor there (1952–68) and at the University of Oregon (1968–72). He was profoundly influenced by Wittgenstein, but developed a distinctive mode and style of philosophizing which represented philosophical paradoxes as revealing partial truths rather than linguistic confusions. His most important works are Other Minds (1952), Philosophy and Psychoanalysis (1953), and Paradox and Discovery (1965). |
