We Love Peirce

Dale, whose profile includes a 'sign' (icon, strictly) to Peirce, writes in a footnote to his PhD:

"Peirce's contribution to the theory of meaning was not as widely read and known as either Welby's or Gardiner's."

Oddly, then, that Grice did lecture on Peirce, but would not have considered lecturing on either Welby or Gardiner.

I think that, in Grice's case, Peirce would have had more of an appeal in that Grice, a philosopher -- some say, like Platts, "a philosopher's philosopher" -- would have identified with another philosopher's views. Gardiner we know held the chair of Egyptology. And Welby did not want to be treated as an academic (she was, after all, a lady).
