Self-consciousness, language, and logic are revealed to be but different sides of the same reality. After a six-year stint at Yale in the ’90s that did not lead to a permanent job, he has bounced around from school to school, stringing together a series of short-term lectureships. As his argument progresses, Kimhi draws on the insights of historical figures such as Aristotle, Kant, and Wittgenstein to develop highly original accounts of topics that are of central importance to logic and philosophy more generally. at the University of Pittsburgh in 1993, the Israeli philosopher Irad Kimhi has been building the rsum of an academic failure.

Logic does not describe how we actually think, but only how we should. to explain this feeling or manner of conception (Hume 1999: 125).
