  Paul Grice (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Grice generalizes this approach by using ‘*+R’ to represent any sentence whose underlying syntactic form divides into the mood operator * and the sentence radical R. Thus: where * is mood operator, and R a sentence radical, let ∏(*+R) be the set of all propositions associated with any sentence with the structure (*+R).
Grice suggests that it is a necessary condition of reasoning from A to B that one intend that there be a formally valid (and non-trivial) argument from A to B.
Grice objects on this ground to theories that regard only scientific knowledge as truly descriptive and explanatory and that relegate commonsense psychological explanation to a second-class role as a theory, useful in daily life, but not a theory we should endorse as a description or explanation of reality.

  Paul Grice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herbert Paul Grice (1913 - 1988), often writing under the name Paul Grice, was a British-born philosopher remembered mainly for his substantial contribution to the study of meaning within language, particularly his cooperative principle, the maxims of conversation derived from the cooperative principle, and his theory of implicatures.
Grice's work is one of the foundations of the modern study of pragmatics.
He proposed an intention-based theory of meaning, in which 'A meant something by x' is roughly equivalent to 'A uttered x with the intention of inducing a belief by means of the recognition of this intention'.

 Dictionary of Philosophy of Mind - Grice, Herbert Paul   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Grice was born in 1913 and died in 1988.
Grice's explanation of conversational implicature begins with his articulation of a Cooperative Principle, which calls on a speaker to "make your conversational contribution such as is required, at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged" (1989, p.
Grice's philosophy of language appears to belong to a long tradition in philosophy that treats linguistic communication as primarily a matter of a speaker's using words to enable hearers to recognize the content of their thoughts.

 26790-0-II - State of Washington, Respondent v. Kevin C. Grice, Appellant File Date: 07/15/2003
Grice argues that he should have received a competency evaluation before he entered his pleas because he had suffered a near drowning prior to committing the offenses and this near drowning may have caused brain damage and compromised his ability to enter his pleas.
Grice when he was out of custody, we had a lot of problems communicating, a lot of problems with him realizing what his behavior is and his responsibility level in that behavior.
Grice contends that his counsel knew or should have known of his near drowning before he entered his pleas and that this knowledge should have prompted her to request a competency evaluation.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Grice, Paul
Grice distinguishes between “what is said” and “what is implicated”, introducing “implicature” as a technical term for the type of non-literal meaning with which he is concerned.
Grice’s work is prized for its freshness of insight, its readiness to question even the most fundamental dogmas of philosophy and the increasingly colloquial and witty style of his prose.
Indeed, Grice’s theory was one of the crucial factors in establishing pragmatics, the study of meaning in context, as a separate branch of linguistics.

 Hancher, "Grice's 'Implicature'" (1978)
Grice (1975a) and Grice (1975b) each present the pivotal second lecture; Grice (1978) is based on the third.
Grice would argue further that observing the CP and maxims is "reasonable (rational)" behavior, because it tends to benefit the speaker's interest.
Grice (1975: 49-50) outlines the general line of reasoning by which the hearer should be able to recover the "implicatum" (thing implicated) in any given case of conversational implicature.

 Grice and conditionals (long, no Greek)
In order to make that work properly, I agree with Grice that you have to bring in a number of propositions that are implied but not stated, and that some of these things may be implied by the context in which the statement is made.
If Grice is correct - and he is at least brilliant, whether or not he's correct, and in spite of his impenetrable writing style - then bringing in all of these propositions would give you a framework in which formal logic could be used effectively to understand such statements.
Grice says that the reason for this is that there must be some reason the person is telling us this, which implies a number of propositions that are implied, but not stated, e.g.: 1.

 Amazon.com: The Red Hourglass: Books: Gordon Grice   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Gordon Grice, a young essayist from rural western Oklahoma, writes winningly of insects in all their glory, basing his narrative on lifelong observations of creatures such as the fl widow, praying mantis, brown recluse--and the occasional human being.
Grice writes with good humor, even when he's writing of matters that are not for the squeamish, as when he describes the rather gruesome ways in which female mantises dispose of inconvenient mates or humans dispose of each other.
Though Grice gives fascinating accounts of the darker aspects of pigs and dogs, it is painfully clear in his writings that his love is truly for the spider.

 Speaker Meaning, What is Said, and What is Implicated   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Unlike so many other distinctions in philosophy, H P Grice's distinction between what is said and what is implicated has an immediate appeal: undergraduate students readily grasp that one who says 'someone shot my parents' has merely implicated rather than said that he was not the shooter [2].
Grice's inclusion of audience-oriented criteria in his discussion of conversational implicature does not have the appearance of a careless aberration.
According to Grice, a speaker's intending to convey that P by saying that Q is not enough for the speaker to implicate that P. The audience must also need to believe that the speaker believes that P in order to preserve the assumption of the speaker's cooperativeness.

 Powell's Books - Aspects of Reason by Paul Grice
Reasons and reasoning were central to the work of Paul Grice, one of the most influential and admired philosophers of the late twentieth century.
In the John Locke Lectures that Grice delivered in Oxford at the end of the 1970s, he set out his fundamental thoughts about these topics; Aspects of Reason is the long-awaited publication of those lectures.
Grice was still working on Aspects of Reason during the last years of his life, and although unpolished, the book provides an intimate glimpse into the workings of his mind and will refresh and illuminate many areas of contemporary philosophy.

 Small on Le Grice
Malcolm Le Grice's 1977 book, _Abstract Film and Beyond_, was an outstanding history of that major genre of motion pictures typically termed 'experimental', in opposition to more common fictive-features and documentaries.
Le Grice's '1994' essay, 'The Implications of Digital Systems for Experimental Film Theory', is exemplary here, especially if we recall that what we today call the World Wide Web did not exist before 1991 (indeed, only as recently as 1992 was the expression 'surfing the internet' actually coined).
In it, Le Grice begins with an explicit framing of what might be called the modernist ethos: 'Definition of the intrinsic characteristics of a medium has been a major component of the modernist enterprise' (310).

Grice is a witty and intrepid guide through a world where mating ends in cannibalism, where killers possess toxins so lethal as to defy our ideas of a benevolent God, where spider remains, scattered like "the cast-off coats of untidy children," tell a quiet story of violent self-extermination.
Unabashedly stepping into the mix, Grice abandons his role as objective observer with beguiling dark humor--collecting spiders and other vermin, decorating a tarantula's terrarium with dollhouse furniture, or forcing a battle between captive insects because he deems one "too stupid to live."

 Grice Coat of Arms
The Grice surname is thought to be derived from the Middle English word grice, which is in turn from the Old French "gris," meaning "grey." It was most likely originally a nickname for a grey-haired man. Although, there was also a Middle English word "grise," which meant "pig."
First found in Norfolk where conjecturally they were, in 1066, Lords of the Manor of Brockdish, the King's land, whose feudal Lord was William de Noyers, Count of Nevers seated originally at Poitevin and St-Cyr de Nevers in Normandy.
Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Charles Grice, who was on record in Braintree, Massachussetts in 1651; Thomas Grice, who came to Virginia in 1665; Arthur Grice, who arrived in Virginia in 1683.
