Herbert Paul Grice was born in 1913 in Harborne, Staffordshire. He obtained his degree in classics (Lit. Hum.) at Corpus Christi College in Oxford, where he returned to teach until 1967 after providing teaching services at the Rossall public school in Lancashire.

 

In 1967, Grice moved to Berkeley, becoming a professor of philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley where he remained until his death (in Richmond) in 1988.

 

His long list of contributions during his teaching career include:

 

The William James Lectures from 1967,

 

his publication of "Utterer's Meaning, Sentence-Meaning, and Word-Meaning,"

 

his Urbana lectures presented in 1970,

 

"Logic and Conversation," published in 1975,

 

the Immanuel Kant lectures delivered in 1978-1977 at Stanford,

 

the John Locke lectures presented in 1978-1979, at Oxford,

 

and the Paul Carus lectures presented in 1983.

 

Grice's publications and lectures are compilations of his extensive research performed in:

 

the philosophy of language,

 

metaphysics,

 

Aristotelian philosophy,

 

philosophy of mind -- or philosophical psychology, as he preferred, and ethics.

 

Grice is also attributed with coining the word "implicature" in 1966 to describe speakers, and for defining his own paradox known as "Grice's paradox," introduced in Grice's "Studies in the Way of Words," (1989) a volume of all his publications and writings.

Also included in the Griceana is Grice's research on Aristotelian philosophy with Judith Baker and metaphysics with George Myro, his other research focusing on the philosophy of the mind with such subjects as perception (with G. J. Warnock).

Also included in Griceana is documentation of Grice's involvement with the American Philosolophical Association (APA) during his professorship at UC Berkeley.
