title: Relating to Ken Kesey's Wise Man
creator: Akman, Varol
subject: Pragmatics
description: We take a parable (told by Ken Kesey) and exhibit how it achieves its sublime effect through a sequence of weak implicatures. Interestingly, the implicatures turn out to allude to Richard Rorty's renowned distinction between metaphysicians and ironists.
