H. P. Grice and the Oxonian Play Group

AUSTIN J L. It would be interested to search in his three books
   the actual occurrences of the phrase "analysis" and "analytic
   philosophy". I don't think he would too fond of that word.
BAKER G P. Post analytic, rather. Some of his books are mainly
   critiques of analytic philosophy. He succeeded H P Grice as
   Tutorial Fellow at St John's.
BLACKBURN S W. He has not been concerned with defining the boundaries
   of analytic philosophy as such though, that I know.
FLEW A G N, ed. of Essays in Conceptual analysis.
   His other collections Philosophy and Languagve, v.
   influential in Oxford.
GRICE H P. Studies in the Way of Words (listed by R Vanegas
   in his interesting biblio of analytic philosophy in the Analytic
   web page).
HAMPSHIRE S N. More on the borderline with non-analytic, I would
   think. Even his early "Thought & Action", his first book,
   was thought of as a time to have "Sartrean" (i.e. continental)
   overtones. But some of his articles for "Mind" are analytic
   discussions of the notion of intending.
HARE R M. Besides his "Language of Morals" being the locus
   classicus for ethical Oxonian analytic linguistic philosophy,
   he has contributed to a symposium (published in the J. of P.)
   on The Nature of Philosophical Analysis).
HART H L A. A specialist in philosophy of law. His notion
  of defeasibility in an essay in the Flew collection very
  influential. Has not been concerned with methodological issues,
  that I know.
NOWELL SMITH P H. Oxford linguistic analysis at its best. After
  Grice!
PEACOCKE C A B (cited by JB King as an example of non-clarity!)
PEARS D F. I don't think he has focused on methodological issues
  concerning the limits of analytic philosophy, though.
SAINSBURY R M. A language philosopher with Oxford background.
SPERANZA J L (J/K Just Kidding), but count me as a "Gricean"!
STRAWSON P F. Perhaps the best known. I'm not too familiar with
  his works on the methodology of analytic philosophy, though.
  There's an essay he contributed in French to a collection
  "La Philosophie Analytique," which has been translated
  (and repr. in The Linguistic Turn, as I recall), but
  I did not find the essay too illuminating. Perhaps is best
  to see him at work in a collection of essays, such as
  Logico-Linguistic Papers, with his epoch-making
  "On Referring".
THOMSON J F. Colleague of HP Grice on work on logic, etc.
URMSON J O. Historian of the analytic movement, inter alia.
WARNOCK G J. The specialist in the Philosophy of Perception,
  and historian. The title of his historical book is
  "English Philosophy since 1900." Typically English, he
  seems to be more interested in ENGLISH philosophy, rather
  than an academic and systematic approach to what makes
  philosophy analytic or linguistic. He was the editor of
  the Oxford Readings in Philosophy, which have all been
  very influential, and where he had reprinted his
  colleague and collaborator Grice's "Causal Theory of
  Perception," (in The Philosophy of Perception, edited
  by Warnock himself) "Meaning," (in Theories of Meaning,
  ed by G Parkinson) and "Utterer's Meaning, Sentence
  Meaning and Word-Meaning", in the Philosophy of Language,
  ed by JR Searle).
