H. P. Grice and the Oxonian Play Group

AUSTIN, J. L. 

It would be interesting to search in his three essays the actual occurrences of the phrase "analysis" and "analytic philosophy". 
I don't think he would be too fond of that word!

BAKER, G. P., St. John's.

Post analytic, rather. 

Some of his essays are mainly critiques of analytic philosophy. 

Baker 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 Language, v. influential in Oxford. 

GARDINER, P. L. 
Cited by Grice.

GRICE, H. P.
Studies in the Way of Words. The H. P. Grice Papers, BANC MSS 90/135c, The Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley.

HAMPSHIRE, S. N. 
More on the borderline with non-analytic, I would think. Even his early "Thought & Action", his first essay, 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 the 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! 

PAUL, G. A. 
Cited by Grice

PEACOCKE, C. A. B. -- cited by J. B King as an example of non-clarity! -- But surely he can be clear too, if he needs to!

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 an Oxford background.

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. 

Contributor with H. P. 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 H. P. 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).
