The Three Grices

Speranza

"Si disse anche che la Tambroni, che pareva attirasse la particolare attenzione di Canova, gli facesse da modella per una delle Grazie (Muñoz, 1957, p. 18)."

Anyone familiar with Wittgenstein's philosophy should be aware of the usual classification of his philosophy into a first Wittgenstein, a middle Wittgenstein, and a third Wittgenstein.

Similarly, with Grice.

The first Grice comprises the first third of Grice's life.

The second Grice comprises the second third of Grice's life.

The third Grice comprises the third third of Grice's life

(Note, incidentally, that 'third third', while SOUNDING otiose, is _not_).
