FOM: What did Macintyre say in Sicily ?

[Adrian Mathias]

In September 1995 there was a meeting in Sicily on the philosophy of 
mathematics organised by Garth Dales and others, which I was unable to 
attend, and of which the Proceedings are shortly to be published by 
the Oxford University Press. 

Macintyre spoke at this meeting, but no text of his address is 
available, and none will be in the Proceedings. 

I should be very grateful if any FOM-ers at that meeting 
who remember his address could supply me with the gist or, better, 
details of what he said.
