Re: David Lewis (1941-2001)
Any relation, Rick?
Re: David Lewis (1941-2001)
No relation at all, I'm afraid.
In the 1990s I had an admin job for a few years in the Philosophy Department at King's College London. One of the lecturers there, Dr Chris Hughes, was on the editorial board of a scholarly journal (Mind, I think) and had been communicating with David Lewis about a journal paper. They had some difficulties agreeing over some point, so for a while Hughes took to calling me "the Unproblematic Lewis".

I don't find you problematic either, Rick.RickLewis wrote: ↑Sun Sep 16, 2018 11:23 amYou are welcome!Dalek Prime wrote: ↑Tue Aug 14, 2018 12:35 pmJust saw your reply. You gave me a good laugh.RickLewis wrote: ↑Wed Aug 01, 2018 3:52 pm No relation at all, I'm afraid.

In all seriousness, thank you for hosting this forum, and putting up with us (me). I like it here. You're all a good bunch.
