o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~o It's an offbeat segue, but I'll take what I can get -- Ramsey's paper "Facts and Propositions" (1927) ends with this Concluding Unanalytic Remark: | My pragmatism is derived from Mr Russell; and is, of course, | very vague and undeveloped. The essence of pragmatism I take | to be this, that the meaning of a sentence is to be defined by | reference to the actions to which asserting it would lead, or, | more vaguely still, by its possible causes and effects. Of this | I feel certain, but of nothing more definite. (Ramsey 1927/1990, 51). | | Ramsey, F.P. (1927), "Facts and Propositions", | ''Aristotelian Society Supplementary Volume 7'', 153-170. | Reprinted, pp. 34-51 in F.P. Ramsey, ''Philosophical Papers'', | David Hugh Mellor (ed.), Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK, 1990.
