winchism: After P. Winch, P. London-born philosopher. He quotes Grice in a Royal Philosophy talk: “Grice’s
point is that we should distinguish the truth of one’s remark form the point of
one’s remarks – Grice’s example is: “Surely I have neither any doubt nor any
desire to deny that the pillar box in front of me is red, and yet I won’t
hesitate to say that it seems red to me” – Surely pointless, but an incredible
truth meant to refute G. A. Paul!” Winch translated Vitters’s “little essay on
value” which Grice “did not use for [his] essay on the conception of value.” (“Kultur
und Wert.”)
