Has anyone mentiioned that Shirley McLean (or is it MacLean) was an 
admirer of McTaggart, quoting him extensively in one of her biographies.

Called him the greatest philosopher of this century who defended 
reincarnation.


Sort of like Jane Mansfield claiming to be the greatest violinist in the 
world who was  a sex goddess.

I don't have the McL quote available.

Loved her love scene with Peter Sellers in Being There, Peter all the 
time unaware it was going on.

Yeats, also a new-ager, called McTaggart "profound McTaggart"  in a poem.

McT was a genius in finding logical contradictions in our most 
commonplace thoughts. Why Russell and others respected him.
