What the Classics Did for Flew (Grice's influence as Flew gets his Lit.Hum.)

--- Not much.
--- Instead, he went back to his earlier concerns (pre-Oxford) which were totally UNPHILOSOPHICAL. As in this early:

Flew, A. G. N. (1954). Crime or Disease. The British Journal of Sociology, 5,(1), 49-62.

where he addresses (but fails to answer) a rather otiose question that he heard while in London (from a Dr. Rees), "Crime is a symptom of disease". Trouble and strife!
