Grice in Soames's "Philosophical Analysis in the Twentieth Century"

BLURB:

"This volume discusses Wittgenstein's 'Philosophical Investigations', the rise and fall of the ordinary language school of Ryle, Strawson, Hare, and Austin, the importance of Grice, Quine's semantic skepticism, Davidson on truth and meaning, and Kripke on reference, essence, the necessary a posteriori and the contingent a priori. Main lines of philosophical progress are identified, along with the most illuminating achievements of the period, and the most instructive errors. The volume closes with an epilogue, "The Era of Specialization", that offers a perspective on how the practice of philosophy changed in the last thirty years of the century."
