@tg9541 Yes, totally insane ! I remember looking at a bibliography of his, I think he published 2 or 3 books every year for over 60 years straight. And the few I've read were all very good too...

@joost_rekveld Yes, quite incredible. A very interesting thinker - logic, pragmatism, inquiry - I've yet to read the first text from him but from the little I've seen I believe that his topics are located somewhere in the area prepared by 19th and 20th century pragmatists.

@tg9541 I can't claim to have an overview of his output, but I think that is indeed where the core of his interest was. He wrote many things on Whitehead and process metaphysics (that I'm eager to read) for instance. But he also wrote on Arab logic, on Leibniz and he wrote a stunningly lucid book on Kant that kept me sane when I was reading Kant's discussion of self-organization.
