Grice's notes for an undated seminar on "Freedom" -- in the Grice papers

by JLS
for the GC

THE EXACT LOCATION BEING "Seminar on Freedom Undated. Carton 5, Folder. 26". Note that the title is just 'freedom' and not 'freewill', or 'freedom of the will' necessarily. "Free" can occur in phrases like

"The body is moving freely."

This 'freely moving body' was for Grice the second stage in the conception of freedom. The first stage is the possibility of a Democritean universe. Stage 3 and 4 involve psychological and human proper freedom.
