Dear all, For all those who attended the first meeting of the Ultimate Contingency Seminar (and also those with an interest in F. P. Ramsey's work more generally), Prof. Mellor sends the following (see forwarded) concerning Ramsey's manuscripts. You can follow the links for PDFs with photos of several manuscripts; or alternatively, you can visit the UL for a look at several originals as well as other manuscripts on microfilm.
Many thanks to Hugh for passing this information along! Very best, Shyane Siriwardena Shyane Siriwardena Ph.D Candidate in Philosophy Email: [email protected] Newnham College, Cambridge, CB3 9DF http://shyanesiriwardena.wordpress.com ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Hugh Mellor <[email protected]> Date: 18 January 2014 12:10 Subject: 'General Propositions & Causality' MS To: Huw Price <[email protected]> Cc: Arif Ahmed <[email protected]>, [email protected], [email protected], Kyle Mitchell <[email protected]>, Shyane Siriwardena <[email protected]> Dear Huw, As you mentioned the Pittsburgh archive, I thought you might not know that this MS is in our UL. Ramsey's widow Lettice have it to me, along with the MSS of 'Universals of Law and of Fact' (which I later published in my CUP Ramsey collection), 'Causal Qualities', 'Knowledge' and 'Probability and Partial Belief' before she auctioned the rest, but after I'd got the UL to microfilm the lot. I later got Ben Colburn - http://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/humanities/staff/bencolburn/ - then a Ph.D, student here, and a keen photographer, to photograph all my Ramsey MSS before giving them to the UL after putting PDFs of Ben's photographs into DSpace at https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/192853 with links to them from my website (address below). The URL for 'General Propositions & Causality' is https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/194722 You might pass on this info to the gang: it seems a shame to send them to Pittsburgh for stuff that's just down the road! Best, Hugh --- Hugh Mellor, 25 Orchard Street, Cambridge, UK, CB1 1JS +44(0)7815 687505 http://people.pwf.cam.ac.uk/dhm11/
