the boundaries of language

This really puts my Wittgenstein gripe in some perspective. (Via Brian Leiter)

Also via Leiter, I see that Jonathan Wolff (UCL) has started writing a very interesting monthly column for the Guardian. Of particular interest, I thought, was this piece on the pressures on graduate students to complete within a particular time-span. I couldn't help but be reminded of Dummett: ''Completion rates' - the very phrase is like a bell.'
