Herbert Paul Grice, born in 1913 in Harborne, England, obtained his degree of Lit. Hum. at Corpus Christi College in Oxford, where he returned to teach until 1967 after providing teaching services at a public school in Rossall in Lancashire.
In 1967, H.P. Grice moved to California, becoming a professor of philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley where he remained until his death in 1988.
His long list of contributions during his teaching career include the William James Lectures from 1967-1968, his publication of "Utterer's Meaning, Sentence-Meaning, and Word-Meaning," from 1968-1969, his Urbana lectures presented in 1970, "Logic and Conversation" (Harvard), published partially in 1975, the Immanuel Kant lectures delivered at Stanford in 1978-1977, the John Locke lectures presented at Oxford in 1978-1979, and the Paul Carus lectures presented in 1983.
Grice's publications and lectures are compilations of his extensive research performed in the philosophy of language, metaphysics, Aristotelian philosophy, philosophy of mind, and ethics.
Grice is also attributed with coining the word "implicature" in 1968 (and before then at Oxford) to describe speakers, and for defining his own paradox known as "Grice's paradox," introduced in Grice's "Studies in the Way of Words," (1989) a volume of all his publications and writings.

"Reply to Davidson on 'Intending'"
1974
Davidson loved this reply and refers to it in his own publications. It concerns the idea as to whether the analysis of '... intends...' requires a clause specifying what the intentional agent 'believes.'
Grice notes that Davidson's proposal that it does, based on Grice's idea of 'implicature,' seems "too social" to be true!
