Anyone who is a philosopher _knows_ that the title

S. E. Toulmin is dead.
Indeed, the author of "The Uses of Inference" passed recently. I would be
interested to know the origin of "Toulmin" qua name. Sounds Anglo-Saxon to
me but perhaps it's Welsh?
Anyway, The Uses of Inference was predated by a series of articles he
published. Someone should publish his whole bibliography.
Toulmin was, perhaps for a weekend or two, associated with Oxford, but he
was on the main a light-blue philosopher.
May he rest in peace, where 'he' is cataphoric.
Cheers,
