Author Biography
Grice, Paul (Author)
Paul Grice was a fellow and a tutor at St. John's College, Oxford University, from 1938 to 1967. He then taught philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley, until his death. Approaching philosophy in the post-Wittgensteinian mode through the study of ordinary language, Grice has been esteemed by the Anglo-American community of philosophers as "a miniaturist who changed the way other people paint big canvases" (Times Literary Supplement). Most of Grice's books are collections of articles.

The number of articles focused on Gricean themes has increased with each passing year.
