    Agreed with the other commentator. It is extremely unlikely that Pangram’s success is due to its cheating by reading metadata.

Seeking philosophers who were in Oxford in the 1950s or 1960s or other centres of ordinary language philosophy in those years

Philosopher Adriane Rini (Massey U) writes:

Several of us in New Zealand (Max Cresswell, Edwin Mares, and I) have a research grant for a project we call 'The Logic of Ordinary Language', looking among other things at the connection between logic and what has sometimes been called ‘ordinary language philosophy’. We would love to hear from any philosophers who were in Oxford during the 1950s and 1960s, or who have information or want to reminisce about Oxford or other centres of ordinary language philosophy in those years. The grant gives us travel money to visit and interview people and we’re keen to compile a list of potential contacts.

Anyone interested should contact any one of us at our university email addresses:

Adriane Rini:  A.Rini@massey.ac.nz

Max Cresswell: max.cresswell@vuw.ac.nz

Edwin Mares: edwin.mares@vuw.ac.nz
