An Everyman profile of Michael Dummett , Wykeham Professor-Elect of Logic, Oxford University, Presented by Robert Kee
For 19 years the Professor of Logic at Oxford has been SIR ALFRED AYER , a humanist who believes that religious language is meaningless.
This year a new Professor will be taking up the post - MICHAEL DUMMETT.
Ayer has called his successor ' one of the oustanding philosophers of the present time '. But Dummett is a devout Catholic. Is there any strain between his devotion to logic and his adherence to his faith?
