Grice was a miniaturist who changed the way other people paint big
canvases. The question of correct scale is ultimately one of
intellectual judgment, and in this his magisterial, fastidious
prose rebukes those of us who want to move faster. [His] work
culminated in the William James lectures delivered at Harvard in
1967, and philosophers will he grateful for having them finally
available in one volume, Studies in the Way of Words, together with
many other of Grice’s papers, and a retrospective epilogue, written
within two years of his death.
*Times Literary Supplement*
Some philosophers are important because they have produced an
important article or an important theory; others are important
because, in addition to producing articles and theories, they have
minds that ‘scintillate’ in a certain way. Grice is a philosopher
of this second and greater type… Grice’s intellect, power, and
charm are all vehicles for conveying a vision of philosophy, a
vision that has much to say to analytic philosophers today.
*Hilary Putnam, Harvard University*
In interest and power this book far exceeds most publications of
our time.
*Synthèse*
[Paul Grice] is without peer as an example of how to do philosophy
directly, simply and without idiosyncrasy. The special flavours
of…our other leading philosophers are valuable, but they should not
be copied. Grice is the only leader of whom it is true that the
level of the discipline would be raised if most philosophers took
him as a model of how to think and write.
