H. P. Grice e J. L. Speranza

 A note to add to passage below. The idea of a festschift for Grice by Clarendon was possibly due to Strawson who had done much to promote Grice -- his former tutor. The original idea would be that Grice would comment on each essay, which proved unfeasible. Knowing of the project, he had elaborated a detailed 'Prejudices and predilectoins; which become the life and opinions of H. P. Grice' by H. P. Grice -- this was the Grice that had acquired an ironic barroque voice with echoes to more archaising English style and manners -- He added a point about the 'introduction.' Clarendon was ultimately crticised in that, if this was meant as a tribute to P. G. R. I. C. E., the name remain acronymous in "Philosophical Grounds of Rationality: Intentions, Categories, Ends." the blurb by Clarendon in the dust jacket -- but no material inside -- made this clear to the potential buyer. Passage: Grice, H. P. (1986). Reply to Richards. In R. E. Grandy and R. O. Warner, Philosophical Grounds of Rationality: Intentions, Categories, Ends. Oxford: Clarendon Press. Originally entitled, “Prejudices and predilections; which become, the life and opinions of H. P. Grice,” By H. P. Grice.
