Grice and Quinton on necessary truth

---

For the record, Quinton's influential ("conventionalist") approach to the analytic -- "The analytic and the a priori" (Aristotelian Society) is reprinted in R. C. Sleigh, ed. Necessary truth: a book of readings: Prentice-Hall, 1972.

Grice was slightly concerned about uses of 'necessary'. "Necessary truth" he COULD digest, but further qualifications of 'necessity' he doubted. Notably: 'ichtyhological necessity' (in his Kant lectures, Grice 2001): do we need it?
