Extract

… it is possible for a man to write a piece correctly by chance or at the prompting of another: but he will be literate only if he produces a piece of writing in a literate way, and that means doing it in accordance with the skill of literate composition which he has in himself.

Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics II 4 1105a23-35

I thank Daniel Dennett, Edward Erwin, Dale Jamieson, Cristelle Leaf, William G. Lycan, Alice Perrin, and Morton Winston for their good conversation and correspondence on many of these problems. A version of this paper was read to the Florida Philosophical Association in November 1981.
