Abstract

[John Bell’s arrival at the University of Western Ontario was a turning point in my life. Bell, John L.Carnap, Rudolf At the time I was a PhD student, a mere few overdue course credits away from beginning a dissertation on Carnap’s Logical Syntax of Language. What better way to make up a couple of those credits than by taking the set theory course to be taught by the hotshot new professor the philosophy department had recruited from England, thanks in part to Margaret Thatcher’s campaign to drive intellectual talent out of the UK? This turned out to be a doubly lucky choice for me. First, being new to the department, John was on the look-out for PhD students who seemed able to do their sums, so the class was a chance to catch his eye. More significantly, the class was a revelation to me.]
