Grice and Dawkins

--- By J. L. S.

Further notes for cross-reference to that delight of a note by Grice:

_Read_ "Selfish Gene"


cited Chapman06.


From wiki:

"From 1967 to 1969, Dawkins was an assistant professor of zoology at the University of California, Berkeley. During this period, the students and faculty at UC Berkeley were largely opposed to the ongoing Vietnam War, and Dawkins became heavily involved in the anti-war demonstrations and activities..."

Oddly, 1967 was the year Grice became prof. (not full) at UC/B. Small world. I want to think that Dawkins _ha ha_ presented Grice with a copy of "Selfish Gene" and he NATURALLY Had to Read It!

I am enjoying Dawkins's interests in animals, etc. -- since I share that interest, and would gladly dissect a few. (cfr. my "Disappointed man", THIS BLOG for Barbillion dissecting this or that). Etc.
