Lecture by John Wisdom
Professor of Philosophy
In the University of Cambridge
Professor Wisdom discusses the function of the metaphysician, the 'person who specialises in describing the types of proof appropriate to various types of statement,' and shows that metaphysical enquiry serves not only to discover fallacies but also to dispel fear, and especially obsessional fear of ' surprising statements.' It helps us to use procedures both correctly and freely. Concepts are necessary and therefore sometimes ' confining.' He says ' We need to be at once like someone who has seen much and forgotten nothing: and also like one who sees things for the first time.'
