Excerpts from Memory

Grice on personal identity:

"I shall state and attempt to defend a form of logical construction theory." (Mind, 1941).

Grice borrows (but never returns) the verbose, "logical construction theory" phrase from verbose philosopher C. Broad.

Broad had mentioned three theories:

'personal name theory" (PNT)
'disguised description theory' (DDT)

and

'logical construction theory' (Grice's "The L. C. T." (p. 78 in Perry's reprint).
