Thank you for the memories
I love...Dear Jerry Fodor<br />Thank you for the memories<br />I love to read your work<br />I love your idea that we all have<br />An idea in our head already for every idea<br /><br />I would have loved to meet you and ask you<br />All about your ideas<br />I loved what you contributed and really<br />Even those who thought you were wrong<br />Or a goof<br />Had to admit both that you were<br />Clever and thought provoking<br />And very funny<br /><br />I will not be able to continue this poem<br />As I have a 4/5 teaching load at a small<br />Institution<br />But I will conclude with the great words:<br /><br />Thank you for living your life Jerry Fodor. I enjoyed reading your work.Pilos Lauretehttp://poemsofphilosophy.com/greatsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046242122963537690.post-30621542418684691972017-12-01T19:51:25.618-10:002017-12-01T19:51:25.618-10:00The language of thought hypothesis revitalised my ...The language of thought hypothesis revitalised my thinking at a time when I thought that nothing else could. I thank Jerry Fodor for the ability to look at the mind through this prism of language. Ten years later, and I'm still looking.

He will be sorely missed. I remember seeing him come down the corridor loaded with books, I think he almost dropped them. There was something touchingly human about the man.Doc F Emeritushttp://chicago.edunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046242122963537690.post-84824896072688727232017-11-30T20:30:19.402-10:002017-11-30T20:30:19.402-10:00Thanks for this.

Maybe more like 'What's it like to be a dog Jocone?'! Just kidding, Fodor is a great figure.MindPhilConsciousnesshttp://www.theoryofmind.org/noreply@blogger.com
