The Apostle (Was: Jesus Grice Almighty

P. A. Stone, half in joke, called me

Grice's most dedicated apostle
see his "Jesus Grice Almighty", elsewhere.

-- I commented him,

"Egstactly. Especially since Schiffer apostised, and all that."

It's very sad that Grice's night stand table -- as he died in a San Francisco hospital, in August 1988, was Schiffer's new (by then book). "Just remnants of his _meaning_." he said.

Problem with Schiffer -- who is elsewhere, and wrongly, described as "a student of Grice" never was -- he was a student of the more minor (is this redundant?) figure, P. F. Strawson (* on 'minor' "What's wrong with that? -- A E Housman, minor poet).

Another of his problems, Schiffer's, is or was that he was born, or is born, as the Germans say, in NJ, Atlantic City -- hence his 'obdurate regresses', Grice comments (WoW:xviii).

Etc.
