Philosophical Grounds of Rationality: Intentions, Categories, Ends

Predominantly known for his influential contributions to the philosophy of language, H.P. Grice is also a distinguished philosopher in the areas of ethics, metaphysics, and the philosophy of mind. While some of these nineteen original papers by leading philosophers--among them, Donald Davidson, John Searle, and P.F. Strawson--develop Grice's earlier work in the philosophy of language, most of them discuss or present his newer and lesser-known work. Together, they demonstrate the unified and powerful character of Grice's thoughts on being, mind, meaning, and morals.
