ABSTRACT
Professor Lazerowitz has unmasked himself as an amateur psychoanalyst of the most menacing and aggressive type. The unsympathetic, purely destructive critic might be inclined to dismiss Lazerowitz’s thesis out of hand—jeering at the sheer absurdity of applying it to the Aristotle of the Nicomachean Ethics, to the minute and desiccating contributors to Analysis, or to the piecemeal journeymen of the philosophy of science. After giving an account of F. H. Bradley’s argument as presented by Bradley, Lazerowitz provides a second, transposed version “restated in terms of language.” From this he proceeds: “It is hardly necessary to point out that the noun and noun phrases descriptive of various phenomena in ordinary language are not contradictory, that they have a use other than in the context of appearance expressions, and that they are not adjectives.
