This book is a collection of essays in honor of Paul Ziff written
by his col leagues, students, and friends. Many of the authors
address topics that Ziff has discussed in his writings:
understanding, rules and regularities, proper names, the feelings
of machines, expression, and aesthetic experience. Paul Ziff began
his professional career as an artist, went on to study painting
with J. M. Hanson at Cornell, and then studied for the Ph. D. in
philosophy, also at Cornell, with Max Black. Over the next three
decades he produced a series of remarkable papers in philosophy of
art, culminating in 1984 with the publica tion of Antiaesthetics:
An Appreciation of the Cow with the Subtile Nose. In 1960 he
published Semantic Analysis, his masterwork in philosophy of lan
guage. Throughout his career he made important contributions to
philosophy of mind in such papers as "The Simplicity of Other
Minds" (1965) and "About Behaviourism" (1958). In addition to his
work in these areas, his lec tures at Harvard on philosophy of
religion are an underground classic; and throughout his career he
has continued to make art and to search for the meaning of life in
the properties of prime numbers. Although his interests are wide
and deep, questions about language, art, and mind have dominated
his philosophical work, and it is problems in these areas that
provide the topics of most of the essays in this volume."
