more summer reading: Horwich

Starting to read:

Truth - Meaning - Reality

Oxford, 2010

So far so good. Can't wait to get to his treatment of reference.

I'm reminded of the beginner's question about the purpose of EVAL in Lisp:

"But why would you ever write (EVAL '(+ 1 2)) ?  Isn't it simpler to
just say (+ 1 2) ?"
