A Correspondence with Peter Geach (1981 – 2009): The Respondent’s Commentary and Elucidations
This book begins with the text of an initial essay sent by the author to the late Professor P.T. Geach, his former doctoral supervisor (1976-79, Leeds), in 1980, along with the latter’s extensive marginal comment. There follows the main section, comprising the correspondence. The book includes the author’s correspondence, plus Peter Geach’s replies over a thirty-year period (1981-2010), including the author’s italicised and bracketed comments, often extensive, on Geach’s replies. A final section discusses the Anscombe-C.S. Lewis controversy (Oxford 1947). It finds that Geach appears implicitly (citing J.B.S. Haldane from the The Rationalist Annual of the 1930s) to support rather a version of the Lewis thesis (that thought as open to truth cannot fairly be simply judged to have materially “evolved”, whatever degree of “bewitchment by language” it regularly suffers) than Anscombe’s contrary view at that time in his communications to the author.
After graduating with a BA from Leeds University, UK (1960), Stephen Theron taught at Khartoum University, Sudan (1979-81) and The Witwatersrand University, Johannesburg, South Africa (1982-84), before engaging upon research supported by Professors Fernando Inciarte and Joseph Pieper at Münster University, Germany (1984-6), while preparing four books for publication. He participated in two international seminars in Rome on moral philosophy (1986, 1989), and from 1989-93 he headed the philosophy department at Lesotho National University, whence he was invited to the Ninth International Congress of Medieval Philosophy held in Ottawa, Canada. From 2012 to 2023, he has published one book per year, chiefly on Hegel and his relation to Thomism (plus Thomas Aquinas on Virtue and Human Flourishing, CSP, 2018) and contemporary logical theory.
