Lucas P. Halpin and H. Paul Grice on analyticity, endorsement and forced revision

Speranza

From an online source:

Lucas P. Halpin's book, "Analyticity and Substantive Inquiry" "defines analyticity in terms of acceptance (endorsement) and forced revision, rather than in terms of truth (a semantic notion/correspondence)."

This seems in accordance with the pragmatist (alla pragmatism of William James) bend of the later Grice (my favourite source: his essay on "philosophical eschatology" in Way of Words (WOW)).

The online source continues:

"No appeal to synonymy is made."
