Who appointed Wittgenstein Jr? What is his background? What did his application letter look like? His CV? Who interviewed him? Who sat on the interview panel? What publications did he submit for scrutiny?
What brings him to our university? Does he want to sit at the feet of modal logician, Collison, or the modal realist, Cantwell? Was it the epistemological work of Coombes that drew him here, or the meta-epistemology of McPherson? Has he come to study with Osborne, the famous metaphysician, or to pursue the meta-philosophy of Mathenge?
Will he attend the lectures of Price, on Infallibalism, or Rogers, on Indefeasibility? Will he audit the lectures of Gallagher on Reliabilism, or of Subramanian on Externalism, or Han on Internalism?
Will he join the Institute of Psychophysical Research (IRP) or the Centre for Affective Science (CAS)? Will he ally himself with the the research group on Quantum Cognition or become part of the the Computational Neuroscience Network (CNN)?
Is he here to advance Cambridgean thought in the areas of malleable intelligence, or dynacism? Is he a heterphenomenologist, or a enactivist? Is he committed to Critical Rationalism, or Evidentialism?
Has he been following the debate between Svensson and Lane on participatory epistemology in the pages of Mind, or the three-way discussion between Nesbitt, Oksala and Castells on reformed epistemology in the pages of Proceedings of the Aristotlean Society?
Did he witness the contretemps between Riddell and Cockburn on the identity of indiscernibles at the Joint Session, or take sides on the incompleteness theorem debate at the American Philosophy Association?
He is here to think, Wittgenstein Jr tells us. Just that.
