There is a coincidence between Bernays and Grice which is non-existent
between Bernays and Popper.
Bernays, like Grice, were born in England.
This from:
http://daniestrauss.com/2003%20Rationality.pdf
"It is significant that Paul Bernays, the co-worker of the foremost
mathematician of the 20th century, David Hilbert, in his
contribution to the Festschrift of Karl Popper remarks that any account of
rationality has to pay attention to concept-formation.
He states that the “proper characteristic of rationality” is “to be found
in the conceptual element” (1974: 601)."
Grice, an Englishman, like Bernays, would agree.
"We have followed up the suggestion made by Bernays, namely that the
meaning of rationality ought to be related to the
nature, scope and limits of concept-formation and we have done that by
highlighting the restrictive and expansive
boundaries of rationality. But what is the status of the “in-between,” of
the intrinsic domain of rationality, the domain of
logicality?"
Grice, like Bernays, an Englishman, would agree.
Cheers,
Speranza
