H. P. Grice: The primacy of the buletic over the doxastic
For pirot P,
"P judges that p"
iff
P wills as follows:
Given any situation in which (PROTASIS)
1. P wills that some end E is satisfied.
2. There are *two* _non-empty_ classes, K1 and K2 of action-types, such that:
the _performance_ (by P) of an action-type belonging to K1 realises E1 just in case p obtains, and the performance (by X) of an action-type belonging to of K2 will realise E just in case p does not obtain.
3. (Closure clause):
There is _no_ third non-empty class K3 of action-types such that the performance (by X) of an action type belonging to will realise E whether p obtains or not,
APODOSIS:
in such situation, P is to will that P performs some action-type belonging to K1.
