The H. P. Grice Papers

The H. P. Grice Papers consist of publications, unpublished works, and correspondence from the notable English philosopher of language H. P. Grice, as Student at Corpus Christi and Merton, Oxford, Tutorial Fellow in Philosophy at St. John's, Oxford and Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley.

Also included are extensive notes and research Grice conduct on theories of language semantics and theories of reason, trust, and value.

His most popular lectures, including the John Locke lectures at Oxford, the William James lectures at Harvard, the Paul Carus lectures for the American Philosophical Association, the Urbana lectures, and the Immanuel Kant lectures at Stanford are all documented as drafts and finalised forms of transcripts and audio files within the collection.
H. P. Grice, born in Harborne, England, obtained his M. A. Lit. Hum. at Corpus Christi, Oxford, where he returned as a Tutorial Fellow in Philosophy at St. John's, after providing teaching services at a public school in Rossall.

H. P. Grice moved to California, becoming a professor of philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley.

Grice's long list of contributions during his philosophical career include the William James Lectures at Harvard, his publication of "Utterer's Meaning, Sentence-Meaning, and Word-Meaning," (in "The Foundations of Language," his Urbana lectures, "Logic and Conversation," published in Donald Davidson and Gilbert Harman, "Logic and Grammar," the Immanuel Kant lectures delivered at Stanford, The John Locke lectures at Oxford, and the Paul Carus lectures presented to the American Philosophical Association.

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" to describe utterers, and for defining his own paradox known as "Grice's paradox," introduced in Grice's "Studies in the Way of Words," a volume of all his publications and writings.
