Notes
Where we elaborate on all the references dropped, with special reference to the august figures that have accompanied along the way.
Chapter Six: Eternal Truth In View
We have reached a stage where we can conclude some pretty good optimistic notes about the purposes and enquiries of philosophy. Join in our enjoyment!
Chapter Five: Palaeo-Grice and Neo-Grice
But then, neo-Carnap's vision of Grice is similarly dated. On what the authors of the present study aim at doing about this.
Chapter Four: Palaeo-Carnap and neo-Carnap
It can be argued that Grice's vision of Carnap is _dated_. Learn why.
Chapter Three: A Twelvefold Antipathy
Grice sees himself as a pilgrim on the way to the City of Eternal Truth. The twelve betes noires he finds invite a Carnapian pespective about them.
Chapter Two: Grice
While Carnap does not feature too large in the writings of H. P. Grice, a case can be done for his inclusion in Grice's priorities.
Chapter One: Carnap
Carnap has been an inspiring figure for Roger Bishop Jones for some time now. Learn why.
Foreword
What we propose to do in this study is consider the views of Carnap and Grice. But not so in a mere historical sense (what Grice at least would have as a longitudinal sense) but in a latitudinal sense as well. As it says things to us _now_.
We will be concerned with 'disciplinary' issues -- and notably as to the value of 'philosophy', or the philosophical campaign. In particular, we want to reassess Carnap's, or the received Carnapian view against metaphysics, and Grice, or the received Gricean view _pro_ it.
We will tread 'eschatological' ground. For we have to conjugate, as it were, Carnap's _pragmatist_ leanings with Grice's _constructivist_ ones. We want to give room for the enterprise of philosophy, be able to reply to the most important of both Carnap's and Grice's doubts that the enterprise has originated, and at the same time provide some way out of them.
We see the task before us as 'liberatory' and 'exhilarating'. By viewing ourselves and inviting our dear reader to view his or her own self on the way to the "City of Eternal Truth" we want to propose a few guidelines as to how to proceed along the tortuous path, the tourtousness is being smoothed for at least the purposes of our expositional allegory.
Enjoy the trip!
