H. P. Grice, "Philosophy and Para-Philosophy -- our Saturday mornings at Oxford"

H. P. Grice:

"When, in the late 1940s, J. L. Austin instituted his *second* playgroup, for full-time philosophy dons -- my *first*, in a way --, its official rationale, given by its founder, was that all its members were hacks, spending our weekdays wrestling with the dissolution of this or that philosophical pseudo-problem, and that we deserved to be spending our Saturday mornings -- my Saturday afternoons were consacrated to the Demi-Johns -- in restorative para-philosophy. And so we started on such  topics as maps and diagrams and (in another term) rules of games."
