The Gricean Movement

--- by JLS
------ for the GC

THE GRECIANS WERE OBSESSED with 'kinesis' (movement). So was Grice who calls the first stage of 'free' that of 'freely moving body' in "Actions and Events". He is not talking, like his student (or 'pupil' as Grice prefers) Flew, of a man marrying the girl he loves 'of his own FREE will', but a cricket ball freely moving in the air.
