BAYNE quotes from Gallie 1936 -- the essay referred to by Grice in 1941 -- at
http://www.hist-analytic.org/STRAWSON1959.htm
Gallie writes:
"[It]t might be held [...] that the sentence --"
"I am hearing a noise"
"is misleading in respect both
of its subject and predicate, since
the word "I" conceals a description of
such a type that, when it is explicitly
stated in words, the original predicate
of the sentence must be altered
if the result is to be a significant
assertion. ... We might [refer to this as
the theory] ... that the Self ... is
a Logical Construction." (_Mind_, 1936 p. 37).
--- This relates to "The Logical Construction Theory of Personal Identity" (The Grice Archive).
