Of course, Paul Grice would NEVER ('rather been seen dead' perhaps overimplicates) have used "Paul Grice" while in Oxford: it was always "H. P." -- "what's the good of having two Christian names if you're having to show them", the public school boy in him would have as motto --. But in any case, the link was provided by Donal McEvoy, who mentioned Monk as a contributor. It would be good to excerpt a few passages from the programme -- at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03ggc19 in audio form, only, alas. It comes with some written stuff which I append below. As I was saying, Bragg (and the other contributors) fail to quote Grice, who did quite a bit towards the interpretation of 'ordinary language philosophy' as a 'programme', if not a radio programme. Vide Travis, "Annals of Analysis" -- a review of Grice's opus magnum, WoW -- Way of Words. Of course, it may be said that, like Popper, and in different ways, though, Grice was critical of Oxonian analysis per se. For one, he regretted that Austin never considered seriously the idea of 'implicature', and kept confusing 'mean' with 'imply' and 'expression' with 'utterer'. (Never mind Witters). On the other hand, Austinians would rush to Grice and criticise him for never allowing the distinction between perlocution and illocution. "You confuse them", Neil Wilson told him. Grice's curt retort: "I may be MISTAKEN, not _confused_." Cheers, Speranza From site cited above: Ordinary Language Philosophy Duration: 43 minutes First broadcast: Thursday 07 November 2013 Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Ordinary Language Philosophy, a school of thought which emerged in Oxford in the years following World War II. With its roots in the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Ordinary Language Philosophy is concerned with the meanings of words as used in everyday speech. Its adherents believed that many philosophical problems were created by the misuse of words, and that if such 'ordinary language' were correctly analysed, such problems would disappear. Philosophers associated with the school include some of the most distinguished British thinkers of the twentieth century, such as Gilbert Ryle and JL Austin. With: Stephen Mulhall Professor of Philosophy at New College, Oxford Ray Monk Professor of Philosophy at the University of Southampton Julia Tanney Reader in Philosophy of Mind at the University of Kent Producer: Thomas Morris.
