The Man Behind The Implicature

---- It is often Said that Said is no philosopher.

But Nietzsche is -- the most important philosophical ideas were, in fact, supplied to the world by the so-called philosophers. "This is," Grice surmises, "part of what I mean when I say that analyticity is at the core of our discipline: philosophy".


frege-analytic:

a sentence is frege-analytic if
its theorematiciy is yielded by
merely replacing a synonym (e.g. 'runt')
by another ('undersized creature').

carnap-analytic:

implicitly defined (by Carnap).

grice-analytic

iff simply ∞-accepted as such by Grice.

(∞) Grice accepts that (∞).
