When we see 2 things always together–bread and cheese, Abbot and Costello, writing and language, mind and brain–that is precisely a proof that they are NOT the same. That’s why the old Private Eye joke–“Has anyone seen them together? I think we should be told”–works.

I am Professor of English Literature at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC. My work is in the intellectual history of the early-modern period (1500-1700), with a special interest in epistemic issues around the emergence of modern natural science (the "Scientific Revolution"). Philosophically, for me, these issues are subsumed in hermeneutics.
