From marcus at loyno.edu Fri Mar 11 11:04:30 2011 From: marcus at loyno.edu (marcus at loyno.edu) Date: Fri, 11 Mar 2011 10:04:30 -0600 Subject: [percy-l] Errol Morris's The Ashtray series in NYT Message-ID: <4d7a480e.41.3d7056.27323@loyno.edu> Percy and I used to call each other with "Have you read?" inquiries. If he were around, I would tell him about this fascinating series of pieces by Errol Morris currently running in the Opinionator section of the NYT. You can link here: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/03/06/the-ashtray-the-ultimatum-par... (May require subscription privileges.) Also, does anyone know if Percy knew the arguments of Saul Kripke? I never heard him mention Kripke or Naming and Necessity, but he made some arguments with me that seem similiar to Kripke's--at least as Morris represents them.
