Austin's Tr. of Frege

My marginalia on a thing Chapman fails to allow to quote on p. 34. Austin, classicisdt as he was, cared to spend _hours_ translating one of the most boring, less philosophical books ever published by a German:

Frege's "Arithmetic"!

Grice Did Not Read it.

  1. And Austin's German wasn't precisely brilliant! (Good thing he was translating FROM the German, though!).
