Quote by Strawson, Peter Frederick
"Ordinary language does not wear its logic on its sleeve, and the philosopher must learn to listen to what we ordinarily say."
More from Strawson, Peter Frederick
"The concept of a person is not to be analysed in terms of the concept of an animated body or of a animated organism."
"To identify particulars is, in part, to use identifying descriptive phrases."
"We must give an account of the concept of a person as a primitive concept."
"Language and linguistic communication depend on the concepts and thoughts users of language have and communicate."
