Malcolm Budd

I just found out that Malcolm Budd has died. He was my colleague and close friend at UCL when we were both there (1974-85). We had lunch and tea together every work day, sometimes breakfast. He was a person of enormous intelligence, rock-solid integrity, and great personal charm (humorous, handsome, generous). He was an excellent philosopher: I recommend his book on Wittgenstein (which I reviewed rapturously in the JP) and his Music and the Emotions. He was also a first-class athlete, especially football and cricket. A great friend, a brilliant mind, a beautiful soul. Would that everyone could be like Malcolm.
