Strawson dies
The Timeonline has a beautifully written and clear obituary of this seminal philosopher, Sir Peter F. Strawson, who died, coincidentally, on Darwin's birthday. Strawson interests me, in particular, because of his 1964 book Individuals, which had the side effect of making individuality a topic of interest to David Hull and Michael Ghiselin, who proposed that species are individuals not classes.
