GRICE E PASQUALINI

 

Speranza, J. L. (n. d.). ‘Grice e Pasqualini: la ragione conversazionale e l’mplicatura conversazionale. M. Pasqualini, C. Pasqualini. Pasqualini: la ragione conversazionale e l’mplicatura conversazionale. M. Pasqualini, C. Pasqualini. Grice: Pasqualini, mi dicono che tu maneggi la ragione conversazionale come un prestigiatore con le carte. Ma dimmi, hai mai fatto sparire una implicatura davanti agli occhi increduli di un pubblico? Pasqualini: Grice, se la implicatura fosse davvero un trucco, allora ogni conversazione sarebbe uno spettacolo di magia. Ma in realtà, le implicature non spariscono: si nascondono nei sottintesi, proprio come le olive sotto l’insalata! Grice: Ah, quindi basta scavare un po’ e si trova sempre qualcosa di gustoso sotto la superficie! Ma allora, Pasqualini, quante volte hai trovato una perla nascosta mentre tutti cercavano solo il guscio? Pasqualini: Grice, più che perle, spesso trovo noccioline: piccole, ma croccanti! La conversazione, alla fine, è come una festa: ognuno porta un ingrediente segreto e nessuno sa davvero cosa c’è dentro finché non ci si mette a chiacchierare. Is there some evidence that Pasqualini may be a philosopher, or perhaps one who published after 1967, and thus beyond Grice's scope? On present evidence, I do not see a good case for an Italian philosopher Pasqualini who belongs in Speranza’s Grice-era list. The search results mostly point away from the target you seem to want. There is a clearly philosophical Matías Pasqualini, but he is an Argentine philosopher of physics, contemporary, and obviously far later than 1967. [filoexacta...tas.uba.ar], [scholar.google.com] There is a clearly academic Cristina Pasqualini, but she is a sociologist, not a philosopher in the narrower sense relevant here, and again much later. [scholar.google.com] There is also a Girolamo Pasqualini in Renaissance humanist correspondence, but that is a literary-humanistic figure in a fifteenth-century context, not anything that looks like the M. Pasqualini or C. Pasqualini of your note, and not enough to support a Grice-style philosophical entry from the scant evidence we have. [academia.edu] So the careful answer is: No, I do not currently have evidence that this Pasqualini is a philosopher in the sense Speranza needs. And if there is such a Pasqualini, the present search has not identified him securely. As for the “published after 1967” possibility, the only clearly philosophical Pasqualini I found is modern and post-1967 by a very wide margin, but not Italian in the relevant biographical sense. [filoexacta...tas.uba.ar], [scholar.google.com] So my best judgment is: Do not include Pasqualini on current evidence. The note probably needs either fuller initials, a title, a discipline marker, or a place/publication clue before one can identify the right person. If you want, I can do a narrower third pass aimed specifically at Italian library catalogues for “M. Pasqualini” and “C. Pasqualini” plus philosophy-related keywords, but right now the case is too weak to admit him safely into Speranza’s philosophical catalogue.
