The University of Toronto Department of Philosophy mourns Ian Hacking. One of its very finest.

Heart wrenching ….. #oliverscampaign
#Oliverscampaign 6 years ago I made my biggest mistake by bringing Oliver to hospital having a focal seizure I had no idea that I was putting Olivers life in danger, that those who were meant to help him caused his death I can never forgive myself for bringing Oliver to hospital
