Kramer suggest that this below is not a typo, but a geographical reflection:
Biographical dictionary of twentieth-century philosophers - Google
by Stuart C. Brown, Diané Collinson, Robert Wilkinson - 1996 - Philosophy - 947 pages
Visiting Professor, University of Washington at Seattle; 1980-90,
Dunno. The only man I know who lived in Geary was Seattle (oops, who lived in Seattle was Geary -- lapsus linguae there) but he now became again the "lifelong native" of Memphis he never ceased being. Mind, Geary brought the behind the GMP with him, as he founded the Memphis Metaphysical Ministry in Seattle.
While Grice held only these few official posts, he lectured evrywhere:
He was
William James Memorial Lecturer (bi-annual, one year philosophy, the other psychology), Harvard, Spring term 1967. Lectures untitled, but Grice had to accept that due to the infamous fame of the second lecture the whole thing should better be referred to as "Logic and Conversation". Not even the second lecture is entitled in the handwritten notes.
Paul Carus Memorial Lecturer. Lectures published as "The conception of value". Clarendon
John Locke Memorial Lecturer. Oxford, 1979. Published as "Aspects of Reason". Clarendon.
Immanuel Kant Memorial Lecturer, Stanford, 1977. Published as "Aspects of Reason", Clarendon. He first gave them in honour of the rationalist (Kant). Two years later, in honour of the empiricist (Locke).
John Dewey Memorial Lecture
--- Plus he was always giving lectures in Brandeis, Princeton, Wellesey, Bielefield (Germany), Cambridge, UK (The Causal theory of perception), Brighton, Sussex (Meaning Revisited), Canada (Izz and Hazz), Miami, Irvine (summer school), Austin-Texas, etc. etc. etc.
He was a member of the Mind Association and the Aristotelian Society, a F. B. A. (1966 -- Henriette Herz Philosophical Lecture, 1971), the President of the Pacific Branch of the American Philosophical Association, Honorary Fellow of St. John´s -- and my mentor!

What's GMP?
ReplyDeleteExactly.
ReplyDelete(I learned in America to use "exactly" after almost every conversational move by my conversational partner, including questions, which I take them for what they conversationally implicate).
I think I meant "P" as in "PM", post-meridian.
But the correct acronym, as used by Kramer, is indeed,
"GMT"
Greenwhich meantime". Or, in the meantime, at Greenwhich, they were having a party.
I used to discuss time with Jason Kennedy in FLN (Figurative Language Network). These are held publicly. I should retrieve them some day and post them under "What time is it?" (one blog in here where I discuss St. Augustine).
Cheers,
JL
