Grice a necessitarian

by JLS
for the GC

Harris:

"I shall follow late eighteenth-century usage and call those who believe
that the infuence of motives is such as to remove freedom of choice
‘necessitarians’ (coined Dudgeon 1739). ‘Determinist’ and ‘determinism’ are words coined in the
nineteenth century."
