Casimir Lewy
In "Why is there Philosophy of Mathematics" (pp. 259-260) Hacking says


 * Casimir Lewy is my own role model of a ‘careful analytic philosopher’. For an obituary giving some flavour of his work and character, see Hacking (2006). Wikipedia describes my teacher as ‘Casimir Lewy, a former student of Wittgenstein’s’. That is totally misleading. Yes, Lewy went to many of Wittgenstein’s classes, and Wittgenstein speaks of him in recorded notes, but Lewy’s man was G. E. Moore, of whom he became the literary executor, and from whom he learned to be a ‘careful analytic philosopher’.

So I think our text should reflect the actuality (though it makes Hacking's text false!).  &middot; rodii &middot;  19:28, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
