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?
Toulmin died on December 4. There's an 'appreciation' of him and his
work by Marx Wartofsky, written in 1997 at
http://web.archive.org/web/20060215164905/http://www.neh.fed.us/news/humanities/1997-03/wartofsk.html
Wartofsky died shortly after writing it.
Anyway, The Uses of Inference was predated by a series of articles he
published. Someone should publish his whole bibliography.
There's a bibliography on Wiki.
