I attended BU from 1974-1979. I began as a physics major, ended with a biology degree, and ironically took more philosophy courses than I did science.
Prof. Findlay was a true inspiration on so many levels. His classes and lectures were mesmerizing. He had a wry humor. He taught as I imagined professors taught in the 19th century. He was eloquent, assumed his students were intelligent; there was no dumbing down of the material as is so often the case today. To this day, over 30 years later, he is one of treasured memories I have of my education. I think of him often, as philosophy is still my passion. I was surprised and so pleased to find your website. I just happened to Google his name and came across it. Do keep up the good work. You are right: he should not be as obscure as he currently is. Time will rectify that. I think much of 20th century philosophy went way off track to the point of absurdity.
