O'Shaughnessy and the Play Group

From the obit:

"O'Shaughnessy headed to Oxford. Taught first
by GA Paul and PF Strawson, he had Ryle
as his BPhil tutor. For his thesis, O'Shaughnessy
wrote officially on mental imagery, but in
fact on the location of sound, his
real obsession."

According to J. M. Geary, the location of sound is in the ear.

Grice mentions Paul as the first member in the Play Group (as I recall). Alas, Paul died very young -- I never learned much about his background, so perhaps he did NOT die very young. He was dead by 1961, though.

--- Strawson was a member of the Play Group too, of course, and a tutee of Grice.

Ryle said that he wished he had attended Austin's play group ("but he wouldn't allow anyone his senior").
