R. Paul movingly speaks of the 'silent empahty' of faculty and students:
Chapman:
"Perphas a succint summary of Grice's life is the one implied by a comment he
made. Despite the indignifites of his illness and treatment, he confided in
Kathleen that he did not really mind about dying. He had thoroughly enjoyed his
life, and had done everything that he wanted to do." (p. 1184).
"Grice's career was characterised by years of self-doubt, by almost ceaseless
battles with the minutae of philosophical problems, and by a final frenzied
struggle to finish an ever-multiplying list of projects. Yet it seems that,
when he reviewed the effort in comparison with the results, he was content with
the deal."
As he should -- R. I. P.
