Suppes on Grice

Speranza

Suppes writes:

"Grice's own formulations of basic concepts
are technical and intricate. It is a SURPRISING
feature of his critics that they do not ENTER
into real deatails of these analyses."

-----

Let p be a proposition and let *psi be a mood marker.

Or mode-marker as Moravcsik would prefer.

As Grice puts it, psi is 'an auxiliary correlated with a propositional attitude psi from a given range of propositional attitudes.'

U means by uttering x that *psi p - U utters x intending
i. that A should actively psi that p.
ii. that A should recognize that U intends (i)
iii. that the fulfillment of (i) should be based on the fulfillment of (ii).
