It's a Laugh Riot! Masters of Comedy! Austin, Chomsky, Davidson, Dennett, Donnellan, Fillmore, Fodor, Geach, Grice, Harman, Katz, Putnam, Quine, Searle, Strawson, and Ziff -- .... I´m still wondering how Geary, of all people, came up with that list."Of all people" is to be taken at the EXPLICATURE level, not the implicature level, mind.Austin was born in Lancaster. His middle name was LangshawChomsky was born in the Bronx, I think. Or Brooklyn. Or Manhattan. His first name is Avram. His PhD was on the Hebrew language. Davidson´s second name was "Herbert", like Grice´s first name ("Herbert Paul"= Donnellan is an Irish name. He only wrote ONE essay trying to be witty, but failed.Fillmore is a linguist -- kant count. Fodor was born in Brooklyn.Geach was married to Gertrude Anscombe, till she died. (Is it okay to say "was married" just because SHE died?) Grice is the greatest philosopher that ever lived. I have a poll on him at the GriceClub.com. So far the votes are confirming my cliam.Harman learned all his philo from Grice. Katz believed in analyticity. Putnam wrote on the taste of twater. "Quine" is a Manx surname. Searle was born in Dallas.Strawson was Grice´s pupil at St. John´s. With Austin and Grice in Geary´s list, the only three English born Oxonians.Ziff means "Zip" in German. ---------- J. L.
