H. P. Grice: A Catalogue Raisonné

Speranza

A catalogue raisonné of H. P. Grice should include: (a) the list of his publications, and (b) the list of his 'unpublications' (which "by far surpass in number" (a), he would often joke.

The unpublications have been catalogued in six series. But surely the Grice Papers at Bancroft is NOT the compleat thing!

The publications is an altogether different animal -- and slightly easier to edit.

JONATHAN BENNETT


Bennett, Jonathan 
Circa 1984

Bennett is the author of "Linguistic behaviour" -- Cited by Speranza, "On the way of conversation."
He wrote a review of Grandy/Warner, PGRICE, for the TLS, entitled, "In the tradition of Kantotle." The phrase stuck.

GEORGE P. BEALER
Bealer, George P.  --
1987
Bealer -- correspondence with Speranza

Bealer knew Grice from his (Grice's, that is) seminars at Reed -- the "Athens of the West," as Grice did not call it!

Carton 1
Folder 4

ALAN DODDS CODE

Code, Alan Dodds
1980

Code is cited by R. B. Jones and Speranza in their analysis of "Aristotle's metaphysics" -- 

Code popularised Grice's coinages of 'izzing' and 'hazzing' for, respectively, essential and accidental properties.
KEYWORD: KANTOTLE.

Carton 1
From Folder 5 to Folder 6

PATRICK SUPPES
Suppes, Patrick --
from 1977 to 1982

Suppes contributed on "The primacy of utterer's meaning" to P. G. R. I. C. E., ed. by the Richards -- Richard Warner and Richard Grandy or vice versa.

In this essay, Suppes responds to anti-Griceian criticism by Chomsky, Biro, and Yu. Vide: Speranza, correspondence with Biro.

Biro in fact wrote a response to Suppes's response!

Suppes, contra Chomsky, rightly deems Grice an 'intentionalist,' never a 'behaviourist,' as Chomsky wants him in the John Locke lectures on "Reflections on language."

Carton 1
From Folder 7 to Folder 8

RICHARD ORVILLE WARNER

Warner, Richard O. 
From 1971 to 1975

Warner got his PhD under Grice at Berkeley. He was especially relevant (if that's the word) in Grice's presentation of the Carus lectures, and has lovely reminiscences of his (Warner's, that is) time up the Berkeley Hills with Grice!

Various published papers on Grice
1968

Series II

This series consists of publications by H. P. Grice.
They range from 1957 to 1989

Carton 1
From Folder 16 to Folder 31

Carton 2 to Carton 4

Grice's publications are, oddly, arranged chronologically rather than alphabetically!

The publications are arranged alphabetically, though, for those publications without dates! (We *had* to arrange them -- some_how_!)

Series II (so-called) includes:

Grice's published 'papers,' or "publicactions," as he preferred (to oppose them to his 'unpublications,' of which he was so proud -- "I'm such a perfectionist!").

Drafts and notes by Grice that accompany their publications.

Upublished papers along with their drafts and/or notes, and
Published transcripts of his various lectures (the William James, Urbana, Carus, John Locke lectures).

Also included in Series II is Grice's own volume "Studies in the Way of Words" (1989) which is compilation of all his other published works including, "Meaning," "Utterer's Meaning," and "Logic and Conversation."

Carton 1
Folder 16

"Meaning"
1957 

Published in "The Philosophical Review" -- but actually written by Grice in 1948 (as stated in WoW -- Way of Words). The paper was first presented at the Oxford Philosophical Society. It influenced H. L. A. Hart in his review of Holloway for the Philosophical Quarterly. It can be seen as a development of Grice's seminars of Peirce's krypto-technicisms on 'semeiotic.'

Carton 1
From Folder 17 to Folder 18

"Meaning Revisited" 

1957
From 1976 to 1980

This essay was presented at a symposium in Brighton. It was repr. by Grice in his WoW. It basically concerns the application of Grice's modified Occam razor to the lexeme "mean"!

Carton 1
Folder 19

"Oxford Philosophy" 
"Linguistic Botanizing"
1958

Note the spelling "botanising," rather than 'botanizing.'
Grice said he owed the method of linguistic botany (as he otherwise preferred) to J. L. Austin, his senior at Oxford, and leader of the "Play Group." Austin (vide, Speranza, and Hampshire, unpublication) in fact led TWO Play Groups at Oxford. Grice never attended the _first_ play group, having been 'born on the wrong side of the tracks,' as he would later reminisce!

Carton 1
Folder 20

"Descartes on 'Clear and Distinct Perception'"
1966

This item was reprinted in WoW -- Way of Words. Grice distinguishes between subjective certainty ("I am certain that p") and objective certainty ("It is certain that p"). Unfortunately, Descartes didn't!

Carton 1
From Folder 21 to Folder 23

"Logic and Conversation" 
From 1966 to 1975

The lectures were actually given in the spring term of 1967. Grice was giving seminars at Oxford on "Logic and Conversation" -- and using 'implicature'! -- at an earlier date. For Harvard, he compiled a 'grand programme' which 'echoed Kant' -- hence his jocular use of terms like 'conversational category' (there are four of them!), and 'conversational maxim.' The idea that the maxims follow from a general 'imperative' is Kantian in nature too ("I am enough of a rationalist to call myself a Kantian!")

Carton 1
From Folder 24 to Folder 26

William James Lectures on Logic and Conversation.
Untitled -- Later entitled as follows
Lecture I: Prolegomena.
Lecture II: Logic and Conversation (proper)
Lecture III: Further notes on logic and conversation (Grice could be unimaginative, too!)
Lecture IV: Indicative conditionals (never subjective!)
Lecture V: Utterer's meaning and intentions (citing Urmson, Searle, Schiffer, Stampe, Patton, etc.)
Lecture VI: Utterer's meaning, sentence meaning, and word meaning (later repr. in The Foundations of Language)
Lecture VII: Some models for implicature
Harvard
1967, Spring Term.

Carton 1
Folder 27

"Utterer's Meaning, Sentence-Meaning, and Word-Meaning"

1968

This item, which is the sixth William James lecture, was published in The Foundations of Language, ed. by Grice's colleague, J. F. Staal.
It was utilised by Searle to popularise Grice in Searle, "The Philosophy of Language," Oxford -- a reprint used by Chomsky in criticising Grice in "Reflections on language."

Carton 1
From Folder 28 to Folder 30

"Utterer's Meaning and Intentions" 

1969

This item, which is actually the fifth William James lecture, was published in "The Philosophical Review." It contains Grice's response to criticisms to his earlier account of 'meaning' (in 1948) by Strawson, Searle, Schiffer, Urmson, Patton, Stame, and others.

Repr. in Grice, WoW.

Carton 1
Folder 31

"Vacuous Names"

1969

This item was written by Grice -- with the collaboration of G. Myro -- for a festschrift for W. V. O. Quine (one of Grice's two 'mentors' -- the other being Chomsky).

Grice creates a System Q -- Myro will later re-name this system System G -- or System G-hp (a highly plausible, or hopefully powerful) version of Grice's system Q -- "in gratitude" to Grice.

Carton 2
From Folders 1 to Folder 4 

"Vacuous Names"

1969

Grice quotes from various logicians, like B. Mates, G. Myro, and others. The section on "Definite descriptions" has been reprinted elsewhere.

Carton 2
From Folder 5 to Folder 7

Urbana Lectures -- the first eight lectures -- From Lecture I to Lecture VIII. 
From 1970 to 1971

Carton 2
Folder 8

Urbana Lectures 
Lecture IX 
From 1970 to 1971

Carton 2
From Folder 9 to Folder 10

"Intention and Uncertainty" 
Circa 1971

This was the Philosophical Lecture at the British Academy, and accordingly published in the Academy's proceedings. It presents a form of neo-Prichardianism, after work done by J. O. Urmson on Prichard on "willing that."

Grice manages to quote from Kenny (Kenny not knowing this), Prichard, and a few others. 

Carton 2
Folder 11

"Probability, Desirability, and Mood Operators" 

From 1971 to 1973

This was presented in a conference -- but remained unpublished "for technical reasons" (Preface to the proceedings of the conference).

In his influential "Pragmatics," S. C. Levinson misquotes this 'unpublication' as "Probability, Defeasibility, and Mood Operators."

At Stanford, Grice learned to realise that his 'mood' wasn't a 'mood' (Moravcsik). Grice would later refer to his things as 'modes'!

Carton 2
From Folder 12 to Folder 13

The Paul Carus Lectures on The Conception of Value, American Philosophical Association 
Lectures I-III
1973
The Conception of Value

Carton 2
From Folder 14 to Folder 16

The Paul Carus Lectures on the Conception of Value, American Philosophical Association 
1986
The Conception of Value

The final version was edited by R. O. Warner for Clarendon Press.

Carton 2
From Folder 17 to Folder 18

"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!

The thing is discussed by D. F. Pears in his fascinating "Motivated Irrationality." D. F. Pears loved Grice, and his love was mutual!

Carton 2
From Folder 19 to Folder 21

"Method in Philosophical Psychology: from the banal to the bizarre" 
1974

The Presidential Address at the American Philosophical (not Psychological!) Association. It bears the subtitle, very Griceian, "from the banal to the bizarre"

Grice quotes from Aristotle, Lewis, and a few others! He introduces Toby, the squarrel (sic) -- and a few other monstrosities. He also credits G. Myro for a note on the devil of scientism!

Carton 2
From Folder 22 to Folder 23

"Two Chapters on Incontinence"
With Judith Baker 
Circa 1976

Grice would prefer 'a-krasia' (He held a Lit. Hum., i.e. classics, rather than any degree in philosophy proper!)

One 'chapter' would become Grice's and Baker's tribute to Davidson, for whom 'akrasia' is (conceptually) impossible! (Davidson is working on probability calculus).

Carton 2
Folder 24

"Further Notes on Logic and Conversation"
Circa 1977
This is the third William James lecture, repr. in a "Syntax and Semantics" volume.

The title, unimaginative as they come, is from P. Cole's reprint. It is mainly a discussion of Grice's modified Occam (or Ockham, if you live in Surrey) razor!

Carton 2
Folder 25

"Presupposition and Conversational Implicature"
From 1977 to 1981

This is repr. in WoW (Way of Words)

This is quoted differently by Bealer. Grice entitled one version as "Definite descriptions in Russell and in the vernacular." It is also cited by authors working on the negation of definite descriptions.

Grice adds a 'manner' maxim to deal with stuff. He also, more importantly, introduces the square-bracket device for 'common ground' assignment, that has been usefully applied by Harnish in his influential essay on 'Implicature and logical form.'

Carton 2
From Folder 26 to Folder 28

"Freedom and Morality in Kant's 'Foundations'"
1978

This is one of Grice's 'historical' essays. Kantotle was his favourite author, so no wonder!

Unfortunately, at Berkeley, Grice could not just teach Grice, but had to teach a bit of Kant and a bit of Aristotle ("a bit of Kantotle," as he preferred!)

Carton 2
From Folder 29 to Folder 30

The John Locke Lectures "Aspects of Reason," Oxford
1979

Repr. by R. O. Warner for the Clarendon Press. 

You cannot teach at Oxford to give the John Locke lectures. Grice wasn't -- at the time! He had a lovely prologue where he admits he once failed the Locke scholarship! (Grice's associations with Oxford were: Corpus Christi, his alma mater; Merton, and finally St. John's, where he became a Tutorial Fellow in Philosophy, and University Lecturer.

Carton 3
From Folder 1 to Folder 5

"Actions and Events"
Circa 1985

Published in the Pacific Philosophical Quarterly.
A rather mixed bag -- A discussion of Davidson, et al. 

Carton 3
Folder 6

"Post-War Oxford Philosophy"
1986

During the Second World War, Oxford was closed! But Grice's 'postwar' philosophy was certainly shaped in the pre-war years!

Grice fought in the war, and retired as a captain! The later years of the war he spent at the Admiralty in London ("A nightingale sang in Berkeley Square").

Carton 3
From Folder 7 to Folder 21

"Studies in the Way of Words" 

1986-1989

The phrase, 'way of words,' is Lockean in nature. "Studies" is not! As Yolton shows, Locke distinguishes three ways:

-- the way of things
-- the way of ideas
-- the way of words

The way of words is the most superficial, hence its appeal to Grice!

Carton 3
From Folder 22 to Folder 25

"Retrospective Foreword"
1987

This becomes 'Retrospective Epilogue' (or "Valediction"). It was basically a stream-of-consciousness thing that Grice writes once the compilation for WoW has been made. He distinguishes a couple (of) strands, which helps.

"Retrospective Epilogue and Foreword" 

1987

In the "Foreword," Grice acknowledges Bennett's suggestion to order the WoW papers differently, but never follows it!

Carton 4
From Folder 3 to Folder 4 

"Metaphysics, Philosophical Eschatology, and Plato's Republic"
1988

This is reprinted in WoW (Way of Words). Plato was NOT one of Grice's favourite authors, but he (Grice, that is) is interested in providing an 'eschatological' analysis of 'right' along neo-Socratic lines.

Carton 4

Grice's Reprints
From 1953 to 1986

Good reprints!

"Aristotle on the Multiplicity of Being"

Undated

Repr. posthumously by B. F. Loar (when Loar was at USC) for the Pacific Philosophical Quarterly

"Negation I"
Undated 
1938

Cfr. Speranza on Grice on negation
This is the first essay by Grice ever -- it bears his Harborne address! (Although it was written with a view to his Corpus Christi courses).

A discussion of Bradley, using variables like "The A is not B." "Negation and Privation" should be a better title.

Carton 4
Folder 11

"Negation II"  
Undated 
1961

Cfr. Speranza on Grice on negation
A view of 'not' as 'uniguous.'
One of the few unpublications cited by Grandy/Warner, PGRICE. A good antecedent for Grice's treatment of the logical operators as a response to Strawson's hasty treatment in "Introduction to logical theory."

Carton 4
Folder 12

"Personal Identity" (including notes on Hume)
Undated


This was repr. in Mind 1941 (pre-war!), and later (oh so much later) by Perry in his University of California Press compilation on "Personal Identiy." It is a Lockean defense of "I" (or personal pronouns generally) in terms of 'mnemonic states.'

In "Personal identity," Grice quotes from Gallie, and many others, such as Broad, Locke, Reid, etc. It is a fascinating paper, if you are into that sort of thing!

"Kant's Ethical Theory" 
Seminar
From 1974 to 1977

Kant, along with Aristotle ("Kantotle"), was one of Grice's favourite philosophers.

Grice would read Kant in English. When giving the William James lectures, Grice 'echoes' Kant by inventing the four conversational categories (qualitas, quantitas, relatio, modus), and the conversational maxims. In "Method in philosophical psychology" he invents the conversational immanuel that every rational pirot should follow! (vide Speranza, "The Conversational Immanuel.")

Carton 5
Folder 7

"Aristotle's Ethics"
Seminar

From 1975 to 1996

With Kant, Aristotle was one of Grice's favourite philosophers ("Kantotle").

Grice sadly realised that, unlike Oxford, at Berkeley, he could not just teach Grice, but he had to give his students a bit of "Kantotle" to "boot"!

Carton 5

Philosophy 290
Kant 
Seminar 
With Judith Baker
From 1976 to 1977

The Immanuel Kant Lectures
Stanford
1977
repr. by R. O. Warner for The Clarendon Press.

Moravcsik was in attendance and taught Grice to distinguish between 'mood' and 'mode.' For Grice, there are two modes: practical and alethic, and indeed, the alethic reduces to the practical -- vide Grandy, "The Journal of Philosophy".

"Knowledge and Belief"
Seminar
From 1979 to 1980
Does 'know' implicate 'believe'?

Grice briefly discusses Gettier at Harvard, and finds Gettier's target "too strong." Grice opts for a 'causal' theory, with provisions.

The items are arranged chronologically, rather than alphabetically.

This series includes Kant's Stanford Lectures, various notes and audio tapes of Beanfest, Grice's fall 1987 group research on universals, and conferences and discussions concerning the American Philosophicall Association.

It also includes a carton of cassettes, magnetic recorder tapes, and cassette sets of four on professional talks with colleague George Myro on identities, metaphysics, and relatives and Grice's various seminars given at different institutions such as Stanford, University of California, Berkeley, and Seattle (where he also held the title of professor of philosophy) on his philosophical theories.

"Entailment" 
Symposium
American Philosophical Association
1971

"Entail" is a use particular to G. E. Moore. Grice prefers 'implicate.'

Russell and Whitehead (or Whitehead and Russell) use a special symbol for 'entail'. Levinson uses "+>" for 'implicates,' to oppose to '... entails...'. 

In "Presupposition and Conversational Implicature," Grice aptly notes that "The king of France is bald" entails there is a king of France; "The king of France isn't bald" merely implicates it!

Carton 6
From Folder 13 to Folder 14

"The Analytic/Synthetic Division"

1983

A revision of Grice's collaboration with Strawson, "In defence of a dogma." "Division" should read, unless we are talking cricket, 'distinction.'

Carton 6
Folder 15

Aristotle and "Categories"
Undated

Work with P. F. Strawson at Oxford.

Aristotle's categories were 10; Grice and Strawson found them six too many and preferred Kant's reduction to 4 (which later became the four conversational categories of 'qualitas,' 'quantitas,' 'relatio,' and 'modus').

Carton 6
Folder 16

Aristotle's Ethics
Undated

Carton 6
Folder 17

"Aristotle and Friendship"
Undated

Note the distinction with "Aristotle ON friendship."
Grice refers to an essay by J. Baker on this in Grice's essay on eschatology in WoW.

Carton 6
Folder 18

"Aristotle and Friendship, Rationality, Trust, and Decency"
Undated

"Trust" is used by G. J. Warnock, alla Grice, in "The object of morality." It was the topic of Grice's earlier "Logic and conversation" lectures on implicature, where he refers to the clash between conversational self-interest and conversational benevolence. 

Carton 6
Folder 19

"Aristotle and Multiplicity"
Undated

Many what?
Repr. as "Aristotle on the multiplicity of being," Pacific Philosophical Quarterly.

Carton 6
Folder 20

Bealer 
Notes
Undated
Vide: Speranza, Correspondence with Bealer.

Carton 6
Folder 21

Philosophy
Notes
Berkeley Group Team 
1983

Note the redundancy ("be brief"): "group team."

Carton 6
Folder 22

"The Casual Theory Perception"
Undated

This was repr. in the Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society. Warnock included the symposium (with A. R. White) in his "Philosophy of Perception" Oxford Reader. Most find White's response boring, but Grice didn't (he never read it!)

Carton 6
Folder 23

"Categories"
With P. F. Strawson
Undated

With P. F. Strawson at Oxford. Discussion. Some linguistic botanising on things like, 'Where is Banbury's generosity?' 

Carton 6
Folder 24

"Categorical Imperatives"
1981

Note the plural! For Kant, there is only ONE -- 'the one and only.'

Carton 6
Folder 25

"The Logical Construction Theory of Personal Identity"
Undated

A revision of his "Mind" 1941 essay on "Personal Identity". The idea of 'logical construction' comes from the author discussed by Grice in that essay: Broad.

Carton 6
Folder 26

Davidson's "On Saying That" 
Undated

Cfr. Grice/Staal on the 'that'-clause. Originally a demonstrative, it can be dropped, but never by Grice!

Carton 6
From Folder 27 to Folder 28

"Descartes" 
Notes
Undated

McGinn has called Grice's model, like Descartes's, a 'telementational' one!

Grice never cited Descartes in French!

Carton 6
Folder 29

"Grice on Denials of Indicative Conditionals" 
by Michael Sinton
Circa 1971

Carton 6
Folder 30

"Dispositions and Intentions"
Notes
Undated

It contains some corrections by some of Grice's Oxford colleagues. It is a rare discussion by Grice of Ryle --. A knowledge of Ryle and his influence at Oxford is obvious in "Method in philosophical psychology." Ryle is a 'behaviourist.' Grice is also thinking of Hampshire whose "Thought and action," was pretty influential at Oxford -- and which Grice preferred to Anscombe's more popular pamphlet on intention!

Carton 6
Folder 31

"Dogmas of Empiricism"
Undated
A revision of "In defence of a dogma," with P. F. Strawson. Actually the dogmas are two!

This was Strawson's and Grice's way to honour Quine at Oxford -- by providing a counterexample to Quine's most infamous essay against Carnap! (R. B. Jones should agree!)

Carton 6
Folder 32

"Emotions and Incontinence" 
Undated

"Incontinentia" is Latinese for the more proper "akrasia."

Carton 6
Folder 33

"Entailment and Paradoxes"
Undated

Grice finds that the paradoxes of entailment are best seen as disimplicatures "on context"!

Carton 6
From Folder 34 to Folder 35

"Ethics"
Notes 
With Judith Baker
Undated

Carton 6
Folder 36

"Ethics"
North Carolina 
Notes
Undated

Carton 6
Folder 37

Festschrift and 
Warner 
Notes
Circa 1981-1982

By "Festschrift," Grice meant "P. G. R. I. C. E.," i.e. philosophical grounds of rationality: intentions, categories, ends.

Carton 6
Folder 38

"Finality" 
Notes 
With Alan Code
Undated

A. D. Code and Grice worked on Aristotle's izzing and hazzing. 

Carton 7
Folder 1

"Form, Type, and Implication" 
by Grice
Undated

Grice was sceptical about the type-token distinction (vide WoW, Retrospective Epilogue). 

Carton 7
Folder 2

"Frege, Words and Sentences"
Notes
Undated

One rare example of Grice dwelling on an author he did not particularly like! But cfr. Neale et al. on Frege on 'colour' and Grice's idea of 'conventional' implicature.

In "Prejudices and predilections, which become the life and opinions of Paul Grice," Grice refers to a "Fregeian sense" but was unsure what this was!

Carton 7
Folder 3

"Fundamental Principles of the Metaphysic of Ethics" by Kant
Undated

Historical. Vide: "Kantotle."

Carton 7
Folder 4

"Foundations of the Metaphysics of Morals"
Undated

Historical: Vide: "Kantotle."

Carton 7
Folder 5

"Grammar and Semantics"
With Richard Warner
Undated

R. O. Warner was Grice's doctoral student at Berkeley. By grammar, Grice means syntax, but won't say it (he finds 'syntax' pretentious and almost, contra Chomsky, krypto-technical!)

Carton 7
Folder 6

Happiness, Discipline, and Implicatives
Undated

That should read 'implicatures' or at least 'implicate' it!

Carton 7
Folder 7

HumeNotes 
1975

It relates Hume's quandary on personal identity. Discussed by Haugeland.
Oddly, unlike Grice, Hume was a Scot, and his surname originally spelt "Home." A grice is a sort of Scots pig, but Grice preferred to think his surname was Anglo-Norman and meant grey, or gray! (as it does)

Carton 7
From Folder 8 to Folder 9

Hume's Account on Personal Identity 
Notes
Undated

Discussed by J. Haugeland. 

Carton 7
Folder 10

Carton 7
From Folder 14 to Folder 16

"Kant"
Notes

From 1981 to 1982
Historical: Vide: "Kantotle."
At Harvard, in 1967, Grice was 'echoing Kant,' rather than, say, Heidegger ("The most greatest living philosopher" -- Kant was dead by then). 

Carton 7
Folder 17

Kant's Ethics 
1982
Historical: Vide: "Kantotle."

Carton 7
Folder 18

Kant, Midsentences, Freedom
Undated

Carton 7

"Language and Reference"
Circa 1966

Carton 7
From Folder 24 to Folder 25

"Meaning and Psychology"
Undated

Grice was sceptical about scientific psychology and always qualified HIS type of psychology as 'philosophical' -- he held, after all, a Lit. Hum. Oxon!

Carton 7

1988

Grice gave a Third programme lecture at the BBC on "Metaphysics," with D. F. Pears and P. F. Strawson.

Undated

Interesting elaboration on the idea of 'ill-will' -- cfr. Grice on benevolence and self-interest, conversational style.

Why the hyphen in 'ill-will'?

Carton 7
Folder 29

Note the spelling, theorising (NOT!)

Carton 7

Nicomachean Ethics
Aristotle's Ethics
From 1975 to 1976.

Grice knew all you needed to know about the Nicomachean ethics, since his tutor at Oxford had been Hardie! (He regretted he had to teach it in English, not Greek, at Berkeley!)
