About Me
- Robert Paul Wolff
- As I observed in one of my books, in politics I am an anarchist, in religion I am an atheist, and in economics I am a Marxist. I am also, rather more importantly, a husband, a father, a grandfather, and a violist.

As a boy?? How old a boy calls such a morning a Quine morning?
As a boy you called it a Quine morning and now a Frege one? Interesting, considering Frege was prior to Quine!
When I was a sixteen year old first semester Freshman, I studied logic at Harvard with Quine. He introduced us to the example of the Morning Star and the Evening Star and I mistakenly thought it was his example. Only later did I learn that he had taken it from Frege.
And what if they discovered Frege's long-lost birth certificate, showing his surname was actually Quine?
*was actually "Quine"?
It would depend on whether they found it in the morning or the evening.
Venus is Venus
This is a police log entry for Amherst last Friday (police with Fregian sense?):
5:45 p.m. – A woman reported seeing a strange light in the sky over Belchertown Road that she said was brighter than a star but dimmer than the moon. Police determined the light was coming from a star.
This says a very great deal about how peaceful Amherst is, if this makes its way into the Police log! I love it.
