Liedtke on Marty and Grice

--- WHO _WAS_ Marty?

He was a Swiss --.


-- Promoted -- by the conspirational Swiss, no doubt -- as 'anticipating' Grice:

From the entry on Marty by R. Rollinger in the Stanford Encyclopaedia:

"Not only does intentionality in the broad sense of consciousness of something become focal in Marty's philosophy of language; he is also concerned first and foremost with language

“in the sense of the purposeful manifestation of inner life through certain signs, especially through sounds and in particular those which—like most words of our spoken languages—are not intrinsically intelligible, but owe their significant power to custom and tradition” (Marty 1908a: 3).

"His emphasis here on purposeful manifestation

(absichtliche Kundgabe)

not only involves intentionality in the broad sense, but is also intentional in the narrow sense (Formigari 2004: 162 ff.)."

"In this regard Marty was a precursor of yet another later movement in the study of language, namely intentional semantics (Liedtke 1990 -- Mary and Grice on intentional semantics)."
