Grice's Changing Conception of Number

Speranza

Incidentally, re: Jones's commentary, about the

"the revelations about how far Frege by 1924 had further weakened his logicism",

the reference was to:


http://people.umass.edu/klement/fnum.pdf

-- an essay by Klement, in "Theoria" -- "Frege's changing conception of number", which I facetiously retitled as per title to this post.

The references to Klement's interesting essay below.

Of course, while Grice did change (views) he did not change _AS MUCH AS FREGE did_: I was surprised to note that some very late manuscripts by Grice revert to his very initial concern with topics like 'personal identity' (the meaning of "I" statements) in terms of 'logical constructions', for example.

Note that Klement also quotes from Sluga, who loved Grice (and talked on his Oxonian cricket experiences during the Grice bench-warming ceremony on Berkeley campus -- Moses Hall) (Indeed Grice quotes from Sluga in "Presupposition and conversational implicature", even if the original footnote was cleared when the essay was reprinted in WoW).

Cheers,
