A. G. N. Flew disbelieved in God. When he reached the age of 80, he started
to believe in God, and then he died.
See:
---- "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: Flew's Views on Meaning in the light
of Ordinary-Language Philosophy, Oxford Variety"
--- Flew wrote 46 books.
The only ones that merit the title, 'requirements' are Two:
Both have the same title. They are called, "Logic and Language". The first
is called "First Series", and he obviously knew that Blackwell would engage
him to write a sequel, which came 5 years afterwards, and was called
"Second Series". It contains ALL that you ever wanted to know about Oxonian
analysis (and were not afraid to ask).
A. G. N. Flew studied under Ryle, if that is possible ('we went to deep
depths'). But on the whole, it was Grice who taught him what Philosophy was
all about.
Flew wrote a "Dictionary of Grice". Actually he entitled it "A dictionary
of Philosophy" --- but, is there a difference?
He is going to be buried in Keele, where he died. The Times obituary came
out yesterday.
