JERRY FODOR ON KRIPKE AND QUINE. Yes, something has gone wrong in philosophy. No, I don't think Jerry Fodor will ever be the one who makes sense of what has gone wrong (I'm convinced Fodor never understood Wittgenstein). But he is right to side with Quine over Kripke on this one. (via Tyler Cowen who writes, "What is the point of writing a blog if you can't occasionally link to a piece [like this].") More here.
