Stanley Louis Cavell on Herbert Paul Grice: Must We Disimplicate It All?

Speranza

Cavell:

"We may , following a suggestion by Herbert Paul Grice's (in "Meaning" , Oxford Philosophical Society, 1948) , think of the actions of depositing and of accepting a deposit as complicated "utterances" : you intend that what you do shall be understood."

"Then it will not seem so extraordinary to say that a later "utterance" (viz., appropriating the entrusted money) contradicts a former one (viz., accepting a deposit)."
