A. R. White quotes A. M. Quinton in his reply to H. P. Grice, "The causal theory of perception"

--- by JLS
------ for the GC

G. J. Warnock did a beautiful thing when he edited the whole symposium on "The causal theory of perception" held at Cambridge by Grice and White -- Grice first symposiast. The chair was Braithwaite. White is an Australian philosopher and he showed a lot of expertise in his reply to Grice --. Among other things, he cares to quote from Quinton!

--- The reference being to the sort of 'epoch-making', within the 'linguistic philosophy' trend, "The problem of perception" -- the causal theory of perception being, simply put, what the problem of perception, for Quinton, is.
