Grice disliked self-called 'professional philosophers', "those who look for
philosophy for their 'bread and butter'"" as he ironically put it.
Consider 'malpractice'. Today, many physicians are NOT of their country of
origin, but expatriates. Medicine, unlike the time of Heraclitus, has
become very technical, and there's malpractice. Medicine is a service
profession.
But philosphy is NOT. Therefore not only the idea of 'food for thought' is
a hateful cliche, but also that of 'thought for food'.
