Unifying the Four Series in the Grice Archive

--- by J. L. Speranza
--- for the Grice Club.

GRICE DID NOT FOLLOW the alphabet in his idiosyncratic filing system. Bancroft does. This is an attempt to organise alphabetically in just one big series the fourth series in the Bancroft.

"The [Grice Archive] consist of publications, unpublished works, and correspondence from the notable English philosopher of language H. Paul Grice, [from] his [days] at Oxford [and beyond -- an item signed from Harborne, Staffordshire -- his birthplace]. Included are extensive notes and research Grice conducted on theories of semantics, reason, trust, and value. His most popular lectures, including the John Locke lectures, the William James lectures, the Paul Carus lectures, the Urbana lectures, and the Kant lectures, are all documented as drafts and finalized forms of transcripts and audio files within the collection.

Grice, H. P. -- Archive

"Herbert Paul Grice, born in 1913 in Harborne, Staffordshire, obtained his Lit. Hum. cum laude from Oxford in 1938, BA followed by MA, alma mater: Corpus Christi. After a sojourn in Rossall, Lancashire, he returned as Merton Research fellow and was nominated as Fellow of St. John's. He died on August 28, 1988 in Berkeley, California."

"His long list of contributions during his teaching career include the William James Lectures for 1967, his publication of "Utterer's Meaning, Sentence-Meaning, and Word-Meaning," (1968), his Urbana lectures presented in 1970, "Logic and Conversation," published in 1975, the Kant lectures delivered in 1977, the John Locke lectures presented in 1979, and the Paul Carus lectures presented in 1983."

"Grice's publications and lectures are compilations of his extensive research performed in the philosophy of language, metaphysics, Aristotelian philosophy, philosophy of mind, and ethics."

"Grice is attributed -- by the OED -- with coining "implicature" in 1964 [the term had been used by Sidonius] to describe a special type of conversational implication, and for defining his own paradox known as "The Grice Paradox," introduced in Grice's "Studies in the Way of Words," (1989) a volume of his publications and writings.

"Also included is Grice's research on Aristotelian philosophy with Judith Baker and metaphysics with George Myro, his other research focusing on the philosophy of the mind with such subjects as perception and rational motivation. Also included is documentation of Grice's involvement with the British Acadmey (of which he was a member) and the American Philosophical Association which he presided in 1975."
