H. P. Grice

Grice reminisces that ‘Oxford was rudely aroused from its semi-peaceful semi-slumbers by the barrage of Viennese bombshells hurled at it by A. J. Ayer, at that time the enfant terrible of Oxford philosophy’
H. P. Grice, ‘Reply to Richards’, in Philosophical Grounds of Rationality, ed. R. E. Grandy and R. Warner (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1986), p. 48).

Like Ryle, Grice has doubts:

‘Many people, including myself, were greatly interested by the methods, theses, and problems which were on display, and some were, at least momentarily, inspired by what they saw and heard. For my part, my reservations were never laid to rest; the crudities and dogmatisms seemed too pervasive.’
