 I think I (indeed R. B. Jones and I) once tried this (or something similar using a visual designed by R. B. Jones) for Grice -- elsewhere -- and it worked.

The network of influences of the particular philosopher that Grice is -- not included (I would think) in Simon Raper's graphing looked particularly fascinating -- to us

We may have the outcome of the application of the technique elsewhere.

 

It connects with Grice's view on the LONGITUDINAL unity of philosophy (as opposed to its latitudinal unity) -- where 'longitudinal unity' reflects in this kind of historical graphing.

 (A corresponding exercise woud be to 'graph' Carnap, too).

 

The graphing for Grice should include references to

 

PLATO
ARISTOTLE
KANT
HARDIE

STRAWSON
PEARS
URMSON
HARE
PRICHARD
STOUT

BRADLEY

RYLE

AYER
WARNOCK

BAKER

LOCKE
THOMSON
STAAL
CHOMSKY
QUINE
DONNELLAN
MYRO
MABBOTT
HACKER
BAKER
KEMMERLING
CARTWRIGHT
NOWELL-SMITH

and the list becomes to look so long that one is tempted to order it alphabetically! -- and subdivided into:

 

authors cited by Grice

authors who cite Grice

 

--- and so on
