[lbo-talk] What the tortoise taught us

[C. G. Estabrook]

"In 1895, Dodgson developed a philosophical regressus-argument on deductive 
reasoning in his article 'What the Tortoise Said to Achilles', which appeared in 
one of the early volumes of the philosophical journal Mind. The article was 
reprinted in the same journal a hundred years later, in 1995, with a subsequent 
article by Simon Blackburn titled 'Practical Tortoise Reasoning'."
