Abstract

The kinds of questions that have led analytic philosophers to work in all the specialised areas that they work in go back to the same sort of questions that Plato, Aristotle and other great philosophers of the past were working on. But I think that what people have to realise is that if you ask an exciting question, and then you make a serious effort to find out what the answer to it is, you just can’t expect that every step on the way will be equally exciting.
