Grice in the DNB (entry by Stroud and Warnock, 1996, pp. 171-2 (rev.)

THIS IS POSSIBLY MY FAVOURITE bio of Grice. Just two pages long, but pretty excellent, in parts!

Warnock wrote this in 1996. He died in 1998. He died a pretty tragic death, having a very painful cancer to the throat.

Stroud I know well. He LOVED Grice and they were always ready to amuse each other. Stroud acknowledges Grice in Stroud's brilliant interpretation of Hume -- for which Stroud relies on Grice's quandary about Hume's quandary about personal identity.
