John Lange on Clarence Irving Lewis (1883-1964)
Philosophy was never a game to Lewis, linguistic or otherwise. It was one of the most important things a human being could do, and one that every human being, in one fashion or another, had to do.
(John Lange, introduction to Values and Imperatives: Studies in Ethics, by Clarence Irving Lewis [Stanford: Stanford University Press, 1969], xiv)
