------------- By J. L. S.
--- When I was in Yale, I was quite close to Cassirer. He instituted the Cassirer Lectures at Yale. I never attended one!
From an online source:
"In what follows I hope to show that the early Carnap was pursuing a program that is very similar to that of Cassirer."
Oddly, I still keep at my (Swimming-Pool) library (I add this as a touch of welcome frivolity -- who wants to have yet another biblio ref.? The world would be a more habitable place without them!), Cassirer's excellent ch. on the history of semantics.
He was very well read, but he is not, alas, very well read. Is that anti-analytic?
