first two years later. All Souls College
made him a prize fellow in 1949, along with
Isaiah Berlin and Bernard A. O. Williams, but
turned down A. J. Ayer. In 1955, Quinton began
to teach philosophy at New College, and

discussion group, which also included Peter Strawson,
Michael Dummett and David Pears, and later Paul Grice
and Philippa Foot".
