many wonderful things, including this:
Of course Witters was unaware of the relevant Griceian complexities
involved, as testified, e.g., in the English language that Grice (but not
Witters) mastered. Rather, Witters wants to produce generalisations (he craved
for
generalisations) such as 'logical form', what-is-said, what is shown, and
so on.
In the Blue Book, Wittgenstein said that the two freat philosophical
diseases (perhaps it's not 'diseases' but something like 'ways of going
wrong,' were a craving for generality and a contempt for the particular
case.
There was life after the Tractatus.
