Michael Dummett quotes

Michael Dummett was a British academic, philosopher, and influential logician. Renowned for his work in the philosophy of language, logic, and mathematics, he made major contributions to analytic philosophy. He also played a significant role in social issues, notably advocating for racial justice. Here are 2 of his quotes:

Philosophy can take us no further than enabling us to command a clear view of the concepts by means of which we think about the world, and, by so doing, to attain a firmer grasp of the way we represent the world in our thought. It is for this reason and in this sense that philosophy is about the world. (Michael Dummett)
Such were the lucidity of exposition and his mastery of the topic that it seems possible that, had he ever published it, the political theory of Britain would have been significantly different. View quote
