... arrived!

Monday, June 18, 2007 at 08:19PM

I’ve arrived in a sunny and summery Prague. The locals tell me they it’s cooler than the unseasonably warm that it’s been in the last few years, but it seems nicely summery for one who has come from a winter. I’m now chatting in the office with Timothy, Jarda and Vladimir, and monopolising Jarda’s computer while the others do work preparing for the conference.

About

I’m Greg Restall, and this is my website. I work in Philosophy at the University of Melbourne. Email: greg at consequently.org; Post: School of of Philosophy, Anthropology and Social Inquiry, University of Melbourne, Parkville 3010, Australia.

Start at the home page—a summary of the site. The left column is news, archived on the news archive page. The central column contains recent items from the writing page, which lists my publications. These are also categorised by topic. You can follow my links at my account on delicious and occasional short snarky remarks at @consequently on twitter.

Thought

Philosophy aims at the logical clarification of thoughts. Philosophy is not a body of doctrine but an activity. A philosophical work consists essentially of elucidations. Philosophy does not result in ‘philosophical propositions’, but rather in the clarification of propositions. Without philosophy thoughts are, as it were, cloudy and indistinct: its task is to make them clear and to give them sharp boundaries.
