(N.B. If Eric is having has his mail read to him, please just leave this at
saying I trust he gets well soon, though if you're read this out to him you've
probably failed in this.)
Eric, obviously I wish you well soon. But (and you knew this might be coming)
did you know Popper had similar surgery (in the 1950s)?
Best,
Donal

By the way, I have had a second retinal detachment surgery and am still
recovering, so it’s impossible to keep up with the list’s intense volume. When
eye heals and gas bubble goes away, I’ll get some idea of what’s going on in
the external world or my self-representation of it.

Perhaps this one?
'I shall, in short, argue that pain is not a brain state, in the sense of a
physical-chemical state of the brain (or even the whole nervous system), but
another kind of state entirely. I propose the hypothesis that pain, or the
state of being in pain, is a functional state of a whole organism.' (Putnam,
'The Nature of Mental States')
