Abstract of P. Stekeler citing Grice

"The project of developing a pragmatic theory of meaning aims at an antimetaphysical, therefore antirepresentationalist and antisubjectivist, analysis of truth and reference. In order to understand this project we have to remember the turns of twists given to Frege's and Wittgenstein's original idea of inferential semantics (with Kant and Hegel as predecessors) in later developments like formal axiomatic theories (Hilbert, Tarski, Carnap), regularist behaviorism (Quine), mental regulism and interpretationism (Chomsky, Davidson), social behaviorism (Sellars, Millikan), intentionalism (Grice), conventionalism (D. Lewis), justificational theories (Dummett, Lorenzen) and, finally, Brandom's normative pragmatics."
