Grice on reasoning

From Allott, online

"Similarly, Grice did not think that reasoning in general was always conscious and explicit. As noted, discussing reasoning in general, he wrote, “We have… a ‘hard way' of making inferential moves; [a] laborious, step-by-step procedure [which] consumes time and energy… .A substitute for the hard way, the quick way, … made possible by habituation and intention, is [also] available to us”. (Grice, 2001, p. 17)
