These are all aspects of our natural history as human beings. But that is a very particular sort of characterization of philosophy, one that Hodges and Lachs do not employ in their account. Thus in understanding Wittgenstein it is impossible to take the measure of his critique of philosophy as superstition without at the same time talking about what he intends to replace such superstition with. I miss in the paper by Hodges and Lachs. And it is that Wittgenstein who I think would turn out to have something important to talk to Santayana about.
Numerical references are to the latter.
