 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
