Stanley Louis Cavell on Herbert Paul Grice

Speranza

“Must We Mean What We Say?” is a greatly expanded version of a paper read as part of a symposium at a meeting of the American Philosophical Association, Pacific Coast Division, on December 19, 1957. The first part of that symposium was “On the Verification of Statements About Ordinary Language,” by Professor Benson Mates. These papers were first published together in Inquiry, Vol. 1 (1958) and both are reprinted in V. C. Chappell, ed., Ordinary Language (Englewood Cliffs: Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1964). The page references to Professor Mates’ paper are according to its occurrence in the Chappell collection.
