Grice on the Bounds of Sense

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

---- WE KNEW ALL we thought we had to know about the 'bounds' or borders of 'sensibility' when we read Strawson's Bounds of Sense, but trust Peacocke to complicate things for us. I think of Peacoke as a new-Strawson, only Griceian. (They both were Waynfletes). And so we come across Peacocke on "The limits of intelligibility": exactly Grice's and Strawson's bounds of sense. The idea of limit or bound is strictly Kantian, and misguided here. Peacocke has found better forms of Kantianism, from his very Kantian, limiting one in "Holistic Explanation: Space, Time, and Interpretation" to a more 'implicatural' approach. Or not.
