"As an undergraduate the only teachers of philosophy I reall got to
know were my own tutors: John Mabbott and Paul Grice", and "The Dict.
of Twentieth-Century Philosphers" online reads "Inf Personal
influences include Paul Grice, John Mabbott and Gilbert Ryle", in that
order.
Well, yes, that is the right /alphabetical/ order, something dear to the
hearts of editors. Whether it is an indication of who influenced the
young Flew the most, is another question. The /Guardian/'/s/ obituary
says. 'Flew's work was partly influenced by his early teachers, in
particular Gilbert Ryle.' But what would the /Guardian/ know? They
probably don't even know that the person who most stimulated
Wittgenstein's later thought was the economist Pieero Sraffa.
