In the opening chapter, Mehta chronicles a heated exchange in the correspondence columns of The London Times. The exchange was initially between Russell and Ryle, but others quickly joined the fray. The point of contention was Ryle's refusal to publish, in Mind, a review of Ernest Gellner's Words and Things (1959). The exchange began with a searing letter in which Russell accused Ryle of abusing his position as editor by making consonance with his own philosophical predilections the standard by which other philosophical works were to be judged. Later in that chapter, Mehta recounts an interview with Gellner in which the latter is quoted as saying; "As far as professional philosophy is concerned, 'Words and Things'ruined my future rather than secured it. I attacked the philosophical Establishment, and as long as the present philosophers remain in power, I will never have a position at Oxford college. Whether I will be accepted again in philosophical circles remains to be seen." (Mehta 1961, 38). ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Fly and the Fly Bottle is perhaps Ved Mehta's masterpiece: a collection of his brilliantly revealing conversations with some of the twentieth century's most important philosophers. Engaging with such heavyweights as Isaiah Berlin, Gilbert Ryle, and Elizabeth Anscombe, Mehta is not only able to shed light on the personalities involved in shaping modern philosophy, as well as on the particularities of that philosophic thought, but also to minutely examine the surrounding atmosphere of mid-century British life.
