Heisenberg and Grice on uncertainty

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

To consider:

Grice wrote "Intention and uncertainty" about 'intending-to-do-A'. Connect with Heisenberg.

Grice's immediate motivation was, however, to motivate his friends Hart and Hampshire (who had written on Intention and Certainty) to read his stuff!

And proud he was of delivering the lecture back in his beloved London in 1971 -- at the posh British Academy -- of which he had become a member already in 1966, but this was the Annual Philosophical Lecture.
