W.B. Gallie and Essentially Contested Concepts
Philosophical Papers 39 (2):257-270 (2010)
Abstract
In virtue of what are later and an earlier group members of one and the numerically same tradition? Gallie was one of the few philosophers to have engaged with issues surrounding this question. My article is not a faithful exegesis of Gallie but develops a terminology in which to discuss issues surrounding the numerical identity of a tradition over time, based on some of his insights.Author's Profile
