Google Books[edit]

The books of Kekes are presently all available with "preview" at Google Books. This strikes me as worthy of adding to links or at least adding a mention. G. Robert Shiplett 01:07, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Notable philosopher[edit]

While there is as yet no article on Kekes in the Stanford Encyclo of Phil site, a search reveals many references to him. This is one important indication that this article is of a notable person and that this article is now not much more than a stub. G. Robert Shiplett 01:10, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Early academic papers[edit]

Kekes' early papers were not political, as I recall, although he may already have had an interest in Karl Popper. His papers were, as I recall from his seminars, on materialism and mind-brain identity. He had a particular interest in metaphysics particularly the notion of presuppositions as found in the essay of R.G. Collingwood.

Again, this is as I recall. A simple reference search of a periodical index should suffice.
