# Sense and Sensibilia **Opening (not a real abstract):** AusTIN lectured many times on the problems with which this book is concerned. The first lectures, which were substantially in the form here presented were those which he gave in Oxford in Trinity 7HUP1947, under the general title 'Problems in Philosophy'. He first used the title 'Sense and Sensibilia' in Trinity Term of the following year, and this was the title that he subsequently retained. In this case, as in others, Austin repeatedly revised and rewrote his own notes. Some undated and very fragmentary notes survive which are presumably those that he used in 1947. Another set of notes was prepared in 1948, and yet another in 1949. This set, in which Austin made insertions and corrections in 1955, covers the earlier parts of his argument in considerable detail; but the notes for the later lectures are much less full, and **Authors:** [[J.
