Abstract
What brought me into philosophy was an excellent introductory course in the subject that was given at Brown in the academic year 1935–1936. The principal teachers were Arthur E. Murphy and Charles A. Baylis; occasional lectures were given by C. J. Ducasse and R. M. Blake. My goal, when I had entered Brown, was to become a newspaper man. (At the age of 11 I enjoyed a short-lived international fame — as publisher, editor, reporter, type-setter and printer of a small newspaper, first known as “The Weekly Times”.) But the problems of philosophy took me away from this and I have been thinking of them ever since.
