My marginalia to Chapman, p. 67
quoting from Grice:
"Grice is dismissive of a third position, an explanation from behavourism describing psychological concepts purely in terms of observable responses. He rejectssuch approaches as 'silly'"
Hope Chomsky bites it, I wrote.
Of course, by Speranza participial
'x, etymologically, means y'
we get that _Grice_ was the blessed one!
By transitiveness, Grice is calling Ryle 'silly', for the only serious behaviourist in Oxford then was the infamous author of the infamous "Concept of Mind"!
