[lit-ideas] For Xmas, With Löb

McCreery:
 
"

Philosopher's  conversation: "A knows that 'The dog is eating the rug' only 
if the  dog is eating the rug." And so? 
John,"



"You seem to have given the biologist the philosopher's lines. Philosophers 
in their ordinary lives may have more interest in the affairs of Every Person. 
But since I was concerned, having been  prompted by Donal, with knowing, not 
gnawing. You ask, 'And so?' yet  the philosopher's contribution to these 
dialogues is given no context.  If someone pointed out to me that one of my 
dogs was 
eating the rug,  and I responded as the 'philosopher' does above, I think he 
or she  would be justified in thinking me just a tiny bit disturbed." 
 
--- Hear, hear.
 
That's why I thought too that McCreery was offending the  League. 

I posted this thing about On Certainty, where Witters,  apparently in one of 
his amusing modes, said,
 
         "He is my  friend and he is not insane"
 
and also B. Russell calling G. E. Moore
 
         "We  remained the closest of friends"
 
--- the games philosophers play are meant to be played  with philosophers. By 
playing the game you agree to become or want to become a  philosopher. 
 
You cannot get the philosophical fly out of the bottle. If  it gets out of 
the bottle it ain't philosophical (and thus fun)  anymore.
 
Cheers,

that I only consume  Loebs)

   and I'll soon be sleeping with  them.
