    Dear Matt,

    You wrote 20 Dec 2003 11:55:50 -0600:
    'I would wish that you drop "philosophical" and just say "vocabulary"[in
    what I wrote: "Intellectual agreement requires (or implies, if you prefer) a
    shared philosophical vocabulary."] I don't think there is anything called
    "philosophical analysis" that is different from simple "analysis".'

    Yes, intellectual agreement requires a shared vocabulary. But didn't you
    define 'philosophy' as something like 'finding out how everything hangs
    together'? Doesn't that make "philosophical analysis" different from simple
    "analysis"?

    The question I asked you was, whether (you agree) we need a shared
    vocabulary (or even philosophical vocabulary) to get (more) 'social stuff'
    done (like feeding, clothing and educating people).

    With friendly greetings,

    Wim
