Grice cited by Flew on p. 191 of his "Philosophical Essays"

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

-- WHERE FLEW is reminiscing the St. John's days -- There were of course TWO tutors at St. John's then, and Flew manages to mention both: the other one was J. D. Mabbott, a Scots. As it happens, Mabbot published his "Oxford Memories" with a small publisher in Oxford (neither Oxford UP nor Blackwell) and he manages to dedicate a page or two to Grice, whom he describes as 'excellent'. Mabbott focuses on who he calls his 'best student' (almost ever) that he shared with Grice; P. F. Strawson. But I guess Flew came second.

"Philosophical Essays" by Flew reprints many of the classics, and we see this big overlap with the interests of his tutor Grice in "Way in the Way of Words". The opening essay in the collection is entitled "Oxford linguistic philosophy" which is just reminiscent of the much earlier "Oxford post-war philosophy" that Grice reprinted in 1988. Flew's essay is dated 1996.

This is followed by "Language and Philosophy", which is reprinted from "Philosophical Quarterly", and which served as introduction to his collection of 'linguistic essays' by names like Ryle and Austin.

---- From then on, the essays get more technical: there's the reprint of his classic (1950), "Theology and falsification" -- and a relevant chapter from his classic book on Hume on "private language and images". A few other essays deal with the paradigm-case argument, about which Flew was an authority and a, shall we say, fan?

Etc.
