Abstract
I was fortunate enough to be one of Charlie Martin’s students and later his colleague at Adelaide University from 1958 to 1965. My philosophic debt to him is great. Part of that debt is a respect for John Locke’s Essay Concerning Human Understanding. Like Locke, Charlie has always been concerned to eliminate nonsense. It therefore gives me great pleasure to be able to contribute to this volume, especially on a subject that has loomed so large in Charlie’s philosophy.
