Dave S. Henley lived most of his working life in Britain and holds a UK Bachelor of Arts degree [ BA Combined Honours II(i) ] in Philosophy and Mathematics from Birmingham University, England, and a Master of Science [MSc] in Business Systems Analysis & Design from City University, London. He worked for several years at the UK Research and Advanced Development Centre of International Computers Ltd, specialising in techniques of data analysis and in making data bases respond to questions posed in English-like query-languages, based on logic. After a short spell as a teacher he joined a software house where he worked as a systems analyst mainly for clients in the public sector. In 1990 he was awarded a three-year Visiting Research Fellowship at the department of Computer Science, Reading University, Knowledge Systems Group.
He has always been interested both in the philosophical and psychological limits of logic and language, and his various publications have tended to reflect these themes. Latterly, (2002 –2004) he undertook postgraduate study in the Philosophy department at King’s College London, in the philosophy of language. He is now retired and living in South Africa where he is exploring the formal limits of language implicit in Zen.
