2.[Peter] gave me his latest insights into one of Gertrude Stein’s poems, which he saw as extolling the aesthetics of symbolic logic. As I had done more than once before, I urged him to get it into print before he got scooped...
...He was fun to be around. When Peter was present there was never a lull in conversation. He was the best conversationalist I ever knew: always intense, always focused, but always respectful and polite. And in all of our exchanges, although sharp differences came to light, no sharp word ever passed between us – that wasn’t Peter’s way. Consequently, I was always on my best dialectical behavior with Peter. He had a beneficial effect on everyone he conversed with.

3.Peter probably understood as no one else the public role that philosophy and philosophers must play in contemporary human development. Even during the Soviet period, when international communication with the Russian intelligentsia was very limited, Peter was often here in Russia. He also invited Russian scientists to the United States. He did a fruitful job in promoting the discourse between our countries.

I had never heard of that concept: ' the community of inquirers'; an ideal model for the PN forum. Respectful conversation with focus and fun; philosophy for all.I first met Peter in 1983 when I was an undergraduate at the State University of New York at Buffalo, still wondering what philosophy was all about, and whether or not I should major in it. As the chair of the department, Peter was not only willing to take the time to talk with me, he also encouraged me in my own rather unorthodox approach to wisdom-gathering. For instance, he ‘commissioned’ me to unveil a one-act play entitled Zarathustra Rides Again at a conference he organized in 1988 on ‘Doing Philosophy Historically’...
Later, Peter and I talked about the possibility of starting a publication which would attempt to make philosophy accessible to non-academics. After he met Rick Lewis at an American Philosophical Association conference, Peter told me there was no need to found such a magazine, as it already existed – namely, Philosophy Now. He became a strong supporter of the magazine and encouraged me to write for it. So in a sense Peter Hare is the godfather of my ‘Food for Thought’ column [see this issue, among others]....
It was Peter who first told me about Charles Peirce’s concept of a ‘community of inquirers’, united in their mutual search for truth, and showing respect for each others’ differing perspectives rather than attempting to shut off discussion by cutting or derogatory remarks (as so often happens in the academic world). With his rare ability to get along with people from all areas of philosophy, Peter demonstrated that this concept was – in James’ terms – a live, genuine and momentous option.
