Is Grice the greatest philosopher that ever lived?

Grice stood wih Aristotle and Kant -- (and reviewed their contributions in terms of 'contemporary logic') but then there's Plato and Hegel...

Speranza

This note, worth reading, appeared in Clark's PHILOS-L list today:

"My book THE DIALECTICAL METHOD (Prometheus, 2012) has not been reviewed,
to my knowledge, by any Hegel scholar who also knows symbolic logic.
Formal logicians are usually unable to judge my translation of dialectical
logic into qualification logic using indirect proof and quantification
over property variables: they do not know Hegel enough judge the
correctness of the translation. And Hegel scholars usually do not know
symbolic logic enough, or are allergic using it to make Hegel clear.
Anyone who might confirm the core of the book or teach me something is
needed."

It may be worth revising indeed Hegel, and why not the source of it all, Plato, in the light, if not Lukasiewicz, at least, Carnap, or Quine -- as read by Strawson and Grice, of course!
