From a 1961 letter from Lewis to the Dean of the Graduate School at Princeton. Interesting to see 20yo Lewis's influences. Not much discussion of John Wisdom these days. Curious to read his Philosophy and Psycho-Analysis.

In preparing a manuscript for blind review in which you draw on your own earlier published work, do you a) go third-person citing yourself just as you cite others who aren't you or b) include a citation with something like [removed for blind review], or some other option?
