I wish you hadn't nroffed it, it would then at least be easier to read. Uh, anyway, for a far more * INTERESTING * (and infinitely easier to understand just-what-the-issues-are ) read "Brainstorms" by Daniel C. Dennett ($ 10.95, MIT Press ). I'd really like to get into this Godel sentence business and Dennett's views on AI, but it's the end of the semester.... Has anyone else out there read it ? The entire business of epistomological/ontological-ness and so on has also been treated quite adequately by Richard Rorty "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature." Wish I could flame at length but I feel that Dennett has already done this far more eloquently. dya
