[Citing Place (1956)]
Citing Place (1956) in context (citations start with an asterisk *):
* By ‘Australian materialism’ I mean the physicalist theory that J. J. C. Smart (1959b) inspired by U. T. Place (1956), and D. M. Armstrong (1968) inspired by Smart (1959b), argued for in the 1960s. It was significant in three ways: as a misunderstood and now under-rated philosophical thesis, as one important instance of the resurrection of metaphysics, and as marking the glory days of Australian philosophy.
