Speranza
Herbert Paul Grice was born and educated in England.
Grice taught at St. John's
College Oxford until 1968, when he moved to the University of
California–Berkeley.
Grice taught there until his death.
Grice published little until
near the end of his life, but had a great influence through students and the
wide circulation of unpublished manuscripts, which he called, amusingly, "unpublications".
Grice's earliest published work dealt with
perception -- his earliest UNPUBLISHED work deals with negation -- but he subsequently moved to problems in language, ethics, and
metaphysics.
A concern with reason and rationality is a subtle thread which
unites these investigations.
His historical idols were Aristotle and Kant, or Ariskant, for short.
