The Grice Archive In Grice, Palgrave, Macmillan (2006)

--- by JLS
----- for the GC

--- BANCROFT has updated the Grice Archive -- contents -- which we hope (I hope -- I hate majestic plurals except as uttered by some Majesty -- "We are amused" -- will justify, and indeed, OBLIGE scholars working on Grice to care to write to them, ask, for the item, READ it, digest it, and write intelligently about it. Some neo-neo-neo-Gricean writing will then become very BORING.

----

Anyway, I have things to do today -- some boring ones -- so I will just skim at the reference section of Chapman's book on Grice and provide some comments as it deals with what Chapman quotes as items from the Grice Archive. The idea is to provide, for Chapman's references (as paged), the more specific 'locus' as we now can quote from the document at the Bancroft whose website I provided in a previous (post to this blog).


---- Mmm. Let's see:

The Notes in Chapman's book range from pp. 217 to 231.

----

On Note 2 she refers to:

"Festschrift, etc." -- this is indeed cited in "Grice Archive". It strikes me as interesting that the trustees would use the word 'festschrift' like that, since it technically isn't. What kind of a festschrift is one that does not feature the name of the festschriftee on it. Grice would NOT have used the word 'festschrift'. It is a German word.

On Note 12 she refers to:

"Philosophy at Oxford, 1945-1970" -- which is rather vague. And I'm not sure what item she is referring to here in the Archive. I use 'archive' as a better term than "Grice Papers", since this contains tapes and stuff. And "Archive" is the term used by the cataloguing data at Bancroft.

On Note 13, she refers to

"Miscelaneous notes", which again, is not clear what item as per Series (I -- II -- III -- IV), vis a vis carton cum folder she is referring to.

On Note 23 she refers to

"Handwritten version of Kant Lectures" -- this we can now place safely by Series, and carton-cum-folder location. It was all repr. in 2001 book with Clarendon, though -- making the ref. rather otiose, except for the ultra-Griceian.

On Note 24, she refers to

"Miscellaneous "Group"" notes 84-85". Not clear what item in Archive is meant.

On Note 25, she refers to

"Richards paper and notes for "Reply"" -- which we know what is, but not sure what series, carton and folder it refers to.


---- That above was for chapter 1. For chapter 2, on Note 1, she refers to

"Tape, 29 January 1983. Grice in conversation with Richard Warner and Judith Baker" -- so we can place it safely in the Archives now.

On note 7, she refers to the same tape.

On note 12, she refers to:

"Preliminary valediction", indeed dated 1985 -- which we can now safely place in terms of series, carton and folder.

On note 13, she refers to

"Tape, Oxford philosophy in the 1930s and 1940s, APA". which we can then safely quote as per carton and folder (and series).

On note 15 she refers to

"Negation and Privation" -- wich the Archive has as "Negation I". I prefer Chapman's title, or rather the one she quotes.

That above is chapter 2, we move to chapter 3, In note 9 she refers to:

"Philosophy and Ordinary Language" -- which I THINK we can locate.

In note 32, she refes to tape "Oxford philosophy in the 1930s and 1940s", already cited.

In note 37, she refers to:

"Notes for Oxford Philosophy, 1948-1970, APA"

In note 41 she refers to the tape above, 1930s and 1940s.

In note 44, she refers to the other tape, quoted first, dated Jan 29 1983.

In note 50, it's from Tape 1930s/1940s, already cited.

In note 51, "ibid."

In note 53, she refers to

"Reply to Richards" (manuscript draft) which we can quote.

In note 54, she refers to "1930s-1940s" tape already cited.

In note 64, to the 1983 tape already cited.

In note 65, she refers to:

"Notes on Categories with Strawson", which we can quote.

In note 69, she refers to:

"The Way of Words, Studies in. Notes, offprints, and draft material." Which we can quote.

In note 72, it's the 1983 tape.

In note 75, she refers to:

"Perception papers", which we can quote.

In note 77, she refers to the 1983 tape.

In note 78, she refers to

"More about Visa" -- WHICH IS NOT CITED in the Grice Archive ((c) The Regets of the University of California, (c) 2010). But obviously belongs to the same carton as "Perception Papers". I have discussed Grice and Warnock on visum extensively elsewhere.

So that above is chapter 3, and we move to chapter 4. In note 1, she refers to 1983 tape, as per above.

In note 2, she refers to the "1930s-1940s" tape.

In note 3, it's back to the 1983 tape.

In note 12, she refers to:

"Notes on intention and dispositions -- Grice and others in Oxford" which we can quote.

In note 13, she refers to:

"Dispositions and intentions" which we can quote.

In note 21 she refers to

"Lectures on Peirce" which we can quote.

In Note 28, she refers to 1983 tape.

In Note 32, she refers to 1983 tape.

That above is chapter 4, we now move to chapter 5. In note 3, she refers to 1983 tape.

In note 5, ibid.

In note 8, se refesr to

"Lectures on negation" -- this the Archive has as "Negation II".

In note 16, she refers to:

"Philosophy and Ordinary language", which we can quote.

In note 37, she refers to:

"Logic and converstion" (Notes 1964), which we can quote.

That above is chapter 5, so we move to chapter 6. In note 5, she refers to:

"Reference and presupposition" -- not easy to quote by carton and folder.

In note 7, she refers back the "Peirce".

In note 11, she refers to

"Notes", which are not easily identifiable.

In note 15, she refers to:

"Notes for syntax and semantics"

In note 17, she refers to

"Urbana seminars", which we can cite.

In note 21, she refers to:

"Lecture I: Lectures on language and reality" -- on 'carulise' -- she notes this is transcript from recording of the lectures.

In note 22, she refesr to "Lectures on language and reality" again.

In note 23, she refers again to the "Urbana seminars".

In note 27, she refers to

"Philosophy at Oxford, 1945-1970". (Inicentally, when the Bancroft dates the archive as from 1947 onwards, that's wrong, since "Negation I" is from 1938 -- he was living in Harborne yet).

In note 35, she refers to:

"Probability, desirability and mood operators", which we can quote and date.

In note 39, she refers to the influential

"Reply to Davidson on 'Intending'" -- which we can quote and date 1973.

That above is chapter 6, so now we move to chapter 7. In note 3, she refers to:

"Odd notes: Urbana and non Urbana"

In note 5, she refers to:

"Tapes".

In note 7, she refers to:

In note 17 she refers to:

"Practical reason".

In note 18, she refers to:

"Kant lectures 1977".

In note 20, she refers to:

In note 35, she refers to:

In note 61, she refers to:

"Folder".

In note 63, she refers to:

"Notes dictated to Richard Warner on perception."

That above is chapter 8, the last chapter 9 has her referring, in note 32, to "Logic and conversation" (1964).
