Grice, Urmson, and Flew on the Paradigm-Case Argument

I add this for examination:

Flew, A. G. N. 'Farewell to the Paradigm Case Argument': A Comment Analysis 1957 18: 34-40.

For Grice and Urmson as proponents of the PCA (along with Grice and Strawson, of course, in "In defense of a dogma") see Grice, WoW: RE).

---

Flew is responding to Watkins, not thinking that one has to bid farewell to a generally excellent type of argument -- for the sophisticated types at Oxford in the post-war period.
